A: They're small reptilian humanoids from Dungeons and Dragons (3rd Edition and Newer for the current, relevant iteration.) They're most often seen as low level encounters for first-level players to cleave through for experience points. I like them. They make fun player characters, and have some interesting lore surrounding them. It's always fun rooting for the underdogs. Apparently I am not the only one who thinks so. Kobolds unite!
