![]() ![]() ![]() Their unique "earth swim" ability does make them naturally efficient and skilled miners but only a few warren's have realized the value of the rare gems and mineral deposits they find. They often try to mimic the level of development of other societies they see (another reason for their thievery being an intense curiosity about other races) but rarely function the same way and usually just involve them trying to imitate such behavior more than serve any functional purpose. Kobolds live in tightly knit family groupings that share a "warren" or nest usually lead by a single male, chosen by level of strength or intelligence who becomes the only one permitted to mate with females for the good of their species. Kobolds can be found nearly anywhere in the vast and expansive cave systems of the Underdeep but tend to be found closer to where other civilized species can be found but still at a safe enough distance that they can flee if threatened. On average a fully grown adult will have the intelligence of a 12 year old child. They have thick possum like tails, long fingers and toes for climbing/digging and usually a tan to dark brown complexion with dark hair colors. If one was to stand upright they would be around 3' tall with large round ears, animalistic nose, large, dark almond shaped eyes and prominent front teeth giving them a very rodent like appearance. They do have a spoken language made up of chittering and growls but have been proven capable of learning other languages. Occasionaly in times of great desperation they may even venture to the surface under the cover of night to steal what they need but this is rare. Sneak thieves by nature, they frequently raid earth fae settlements to steal food, supplies and have a particular fascination with shiny or sparkly things giving legend to vast Kobold treasure hordes somewhere in the Underdeep. They aren't necessarily evil, but operate on a far more primal/instinctual mindset in which they will become aggressive if challenged in large groups but are incredibly cowardly when faced with an even slightly superior offensive. Generally skittish and paranoid by nature, Kobold's are a regular nuisance to most any subturanean race, especially Dwarves and Gnomes who have to deal with them on a fairly regular basis.
