yes, they were pretty much the same as fairies, elves, leprechauns, goblins, dwarfs, and the like in early europe.

fantasy would be boring if everything that wasn't human were just differently named spirits that were effectively all the same

>>50257186
fair, that said some of these homy aspects could be fun, like a Kobold house servant with contracts that are worded to ensure they can prank you if you abuse them, also all sea faring kobolds should wear sailor suits

I always just consider kobolds to be like those prehistoric lizard-like mammal ancestors. scaley skin but also fur and warm blooded.

So, anons, which bit of WoTC kobold lore is creepier? The whole "being eaten by a dragon is an honor" thing from 4e's Dungeon Survival Guide? Or the "they can change genders" thing from 5e's Volo's Guide to Monsters?

Actually... has anyone ever had their kobolds have gender oddities - hermaphroditic, gender shifting, whatever - in their games?

Anons? I really want to make a kobold Life Cleric in 5e, but I can't think of any deities a kobold could believably worship to justify that class.

Anyone got any suggestions? Homebrew (draconic?) deity, kobold aspect to Tiamat, a "dark mother" deity like Lamashtu or Shub-Niggurath?

Guoh's Kobolds are supreme.

>>50265882
What about Tucker's kobolds?

>>50257186
Kobolds should be a goblin subrace

>>50265953
Do you have an example? I'm unfamiliar with this Tucker.

>>50266075
Really they could all be sub-races of fae.
Just have your fantasy world have only three types of creatures, humans, fae, and ghosts

>>50266101
https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Tucker's_Kobolds

>>50264296
All dragonkin believe their creator god was hermaphroditic and created them in it's image. They believe the division of gender, along with the rest of variety they display, was a curse placed on them by other gods envious of their perfection. They generally pursue shapeshifting magic in an attempt to return themselves to that perfection.

>>50266104
So...what type of creature is a bear?

>>50266249
>fae

What do you mean by that? Do you mean those that see kobolds as tiny lizard-guys? Because that's not a purist. A kobold purist would be someone who sees a kobold as it's written in that wikipedia link. So why would they be BTFO?

Well, I was going to bring up something that's always miffed me, with both Kobolds and other reptile races.

Why are they always depicted as Digitigrade? Most all reptiles (save for a few extinct dinosaurs) are Plantigrade, as are many depictions of dragons. Further, even if we were to call then a pseudo mammal-reptile that doesn't seem right either, since digit I grade is mostly found in Order Carnivora, and even the primitive pseudo-mammals like the Synapsids were plantigrade.

Plus Plantigrade is much more conducive for a subterranean lifestyle than digitigrade

I'm sorry, I may be fine with both sides of the breast debate, but the legs part just bothers me.

>>50270281
>>50270300
Actually, if I recall correct, Races of the Dragon states that a Kobold Warren can often end up as architecturally sophisticated as a Dwarven Settlement, except with less carvings and more intricately designed traps and switches

All you do is give kobold the power of the storm lights. Now traps even more strong, and now walls deadly to stupid goblins that try and get in and touch walls

>>50270403

In-universe, I'd assume, since kobolds are often more doglike, that its one of the canine features they held onto even after becoming more deaconic. The out of character reason is, of course, furries, but that's not as fun to contemplate.

>>50270513

I suppose it could be taken that way. I prefer a nice mix of mythologies, and I always figured a lot of the 'cute' behaviors people give kobolds are also more doglike, possibly including their loyalty to dragons (whether that's a dog/master relationship of a 'follow the alpha dog' relationship varies). I guess what I'm REALLY saying in regards to kobolds is REMOVE

well when a human walks or runs barefoot on a hard or rough surface they do so on the balls of their feet to reduce stress on the joints. I assume since they tend to be barefoot and live in rocky caves that they do the same. being bipedal may have something to do with it as well.

They are, and so should kobolds. Humans do walk similar to digigrade when on hard/rough terrain while barefood. Kobolds tend to be barefoot and live most of their lives in rocky caves where the ground is rough/hard. So while they are plantigrade they almost never walk that way because of the environment they live in.
Alternatively the fact they are bipedal and live in rocky caves could have caused them to evolve digigrade legs

I counter with Pikas
Further many other rocky environ plantigrade creatures manage just fine.

If anything, Digitigrade would be more sensible if they loved in open Tallgrass Prairie and Savannah rather than rocky areas, where they would need a foot with more surface area on the sole for better purchase

>>50270834
Plantigrade and Digitigrade refers to skeletal structure, not stance.

Something worth uniting over.

>>50270933
Pika and other subterranean plantigrades are also quadrupeds so the stress of their body weight is always spread across multiple legs as well as their knees only fully extending when leaping or running and are always bent when making contact with the ground to absorb shock.

Or they only stand and fight on the balls of their feet to appear bigger to try and frighten off predators?

>>50270986
Which are strictly quadriped, whereas Pikas are saltatorial semi-bipeds. Goats aren't even Digitograde, they are Unguligrade, and that hoof is made specifically as a shock absorber. Digitigrade and Unguligrade works well for quadrupeds, because the loss of balance and stability from being Digitigrade is balanced out due to the balanced body plan.

Also, contrary to what you may think, Digitigrade and Unguligrade feet suffer from shock more than plantigrade, due to the lessened surface area and the increassed verticle stress on the tarsels.

Further, Goats are Bovids and evolved from primarilly grazing animals, and their body plan is built more for quick movement to escape predators and sprightly movement, not for traversing caverns and fossorial environs.

>>50271036
Or when feeding, or holding objects.
Further everything you just said applies doubly so to Digitigrade and Unguligrade animals. due to body weight stress on the Tarsels, which would be even greater on a bipedal body plan due to the shift in the weight distribution.

>>50271481

Not even really in this thread anymore, but couldn't NOT post the parallel here.

>>50271191
Sorry, I was in the shower.

Anyway, as stated above, Digitigrade is good for chase and ambush predators (usually cursorial or arborial in nature), much like how most canines and felines act. Digitigrade increases stride, decreases surface area to reduce drag against the ground. While stability would be a problem for the bipedal dinos and birds, they often work around it with wide splayed-out toes, less dense body structure (such as hollow bones), an altered center of gravity due to horizontal body plane(effectively using the same geometry as quadrupeds) and long tails for counterbalance, and alterations in dactyly (such as toe postion, size, and fusion of digits). Further, many dinosaurs tended to also be semi-digitigrade, meaning they still rested alot of weight in the space between the fingers and heel

It should also be noted that some birds, specifically the Loons and Grebes are plantigrade. Further chicks walk with their whole foot on the ground.

Now, most birds (with the exception of running/flightless birds) don't use their feat for climbing or travel, but rather for grasping, holding, catching, killing (exclusively raptors, and they have their own plethora of specific foot adaptations) jumping, cradling, and swimming. Their light body structure give them advantages in jumping and in flight take off, but for most birds their preffered and fastest method of travel and escape is still flight, which is true even in primarily land based species like Quail.

Ostritches are freaks and exceptions. Their feet and legs have become so highly specialized that its bare digitigrade anymore in terms of function, and honesl the only reason they've held on to that design is to take advantage of leg length and as an evolutionary remnant

As for more info on dinos, I admit its not my forte, as I specialize in Wildlife Biology, not Paleontology.

In short, for Kobolds to be digitigrade, they'd need more specialized body plan adaptations, and be less humanoid shape

Where do Kobolds come from in your settings?

>>50278516
Mutated dragon hatchlings transformed into pale, neotenous/humanoid imitations of themselves by the magical apocalypse that blew up the world. There's no dragons left, but they can sense they're not what they were, and many are obsessed with undoing it, which led to the various reptilian monsters populating the setting as a result of their experiments.

They're also simultaneous hermaphrodites, but that was a trait of the original dragons.

I was hoping for a weird comic... ah well. Thank you very much in any case.

>>50278590
there is a reason I removed a panel in the first place.

>>50278516
They evolved from saurian creatures after the stone of first magic struck the earth, setting off magical mutations in native life that would give rise to griffins, basalisks, cockatrices and other such beasts, but kobold were the first sapient life to develop on this world, their empires rose and fell and it was up to their sapient super soldiers, the dragons to take up the mantel, that they quietly erased evidence that the kobolds made them and not the other way around was the first act of hubris to lead the path to their own fall. kobolds themselves are wildly diverse between tribes, some lizard like, others dromeosaurid, and others still like Cynodonts, between these still tribe that can be sequential or simultaneous hermaphrodites, ensuring that they are not likely to go extinct any time soon

dwarf fortress kobolds are the shittiest race by far
>try to be thieves but fail horribly
>fucking birds outperform them as thieves
>physically inferior
>only seem to use copper
>live in fucking caves
>can only speek in utterances
>have basic, tribal ethics

compare that to goblins
>well-armed and armored
>can fuck your dwarves up with brutal ambushes and sieges
>build grand fortresses
>have an advanced culture with many bards and philosophers
>have interesting, libertarian ethics for which they are unjustly persecuted

The fuck is a cynodont

Sounds pretty fucking neato my kobolds and goblins were just familiars made by rival magic users that ended up running wild when they both died

>>50278516
Cave-dwelling subspecies of goblinoids

>>50278664
I'm honestly kind of surprised how few people seem to freak out over the idea of kobolds being either hermaphroditic or just natural gender-benders. Does it make that much sense they have traits like that to avoid being wiped out by all the big nasties in the world around them?

>>50278516
Goblins who entered a magical pact with a dragon to serve it.

Wow, are mad because you can't get a position on obamacare's death panels?

>>50280253
It adds up with how quickly they can populate a place and infest it, botherwise for good and ill

>>50266249

It's a fat dog

>>50281202
Oh, I know it makes sense. It's why I used it in my own setting. I'm just kind of surprised not to see /tg/ screaming its head off about "deviant!" at the notion.

>>50282152
I think it's those into it for... that reason trying to keep it to themselves and those who think it's weird either not being here or just keeping their thoughts to themselves

>>50278664
Do your Kobolds have any special powers?
