Kobold facts: kobolds make excellent backpackers, as at least two of them can fit inside a regular backpack.

Kobold facts: please be advised that all kobolds are currently active, and we are at Ambush Level Omega; be wary that Christmas trees, presents, and stockings all have a high chance of containing kobolds. Leave a plate of cookies on the floor and they will disperse naturally.

Kobold facts: communication is key between kobolds and entire warrens - while some adapt to environments with ingenuity (like the stealthy Hooz’ther tribe hand signals) others make worthy attempts, like the Hahk’Coph tribe’s smoke signals (which unfortunately do not translate well underground.)

Kobold facts: kobold weddings are just about as chaotic and stressful as regular weddings, but they are more likely to involve hazardous gases, dangerous structural faults, and about 30% more heavy duty mining equipment.

Kobold facts: kobolds do very well as photo developers due to their innate darkvision and attention to detail-since the invention of digital cameras, however, most photo developer kobolds just hang out in the darkroom and pretend they’re on a submarine.

Kobold facts: kobold writers are another rare occurrence in kobold society. This is not due to a dearth of the written word in kobold warrens-graffiti alone accounts for much of it-but the fact remains that it is hard to keep dirt out of a typewriter while underground.

Kobold facts: kobolds have formed Tiamat’s Trackers, a youth scout organization dedicated to the conservation of the underground wilderness, gaining survival techniques, understanding how traps function and their varying deadliness, and of course learning how to sell cookies.

Kobold facts: the educational kobold boardgame of choice for hatchlings is Mouse Trap.

Kobold facts: the bitter kobold/gnome feud was started when gnomes insisted there was an invisible, unpronounceable G at the beginning of their race’s name. Unable to accept phantom letters and believing this to be some kind of trick, kobolds declared a never ending war.

Kobold facts: kobold detectives often earn the nickname ‘gas miners,’ referring both to foolish kobolds that dig where danger is apparent, as well as one that exposes danger and corruption. These kobolds are marked at birth, as they-and they alone-can grow a grizzled 5 o’clock shadow.

Kobold facts: kobold portrait artists become closely involved with their dragons’ lives. Kobold artists learn quickly, as well, that dragon horns are always massive and impressive, their rumps and stomachs are always taut, and they must be depicted as godlike at all times. Or else.

Kobold facts: the Zuu’mii tribe serving Permafrostbite the white dragon has a curious love of collecting fallen adventurers’ shields - as it turns out, a tower shield functions almost exactly like a tobaggan for up to twelve kobolds. Snowbucklering is also popular.

Kobold Facts: kobolds are unique in that the discovery of a mimic in their lairs is usually cause for celebration. Having their warrens be ‘chosen’ for habitation by a mimic is an honor among kobolds, and weeds out the dumber ‘bolds in the process.

Kobold facts; one of the benefits of working underground and in mines all the time is that the time flies by for most kobolds. Getting up to go to work on a Monday only to go to bed two Thursdays later is a trip. As a result, kobolds are terrible at calendars.

Kobold facts: the deliberate act of physically bumping a kobold’s lower body into tallfolk is called a “yip check.”

Kobold facts: when snow tires or chains are unavailable or just plain forgotten, kobolds will offer to lean out your car windows with acetylene torches onto help beat back the ice. They call it ‘dragon wagoning’ and it is sweeping the nation like a flaming car on the highway.

Streaming in a couple minutes - it’s winter now so I’m obliged to cuddle up to the warm glow of my monitors.

Kobold facts: sometimes kobolds get so busy they forget important things, like bestowing important knowledge on strangers. Fortunately it doesn’t happen often!

Kobold facts: kobolds participate in ‘Gold Friday,’ a specific day of the year that dragons encourage them to go out and acquire all the gold they can for the hoard—this means kobolds will cobble together trinkets and baubles from their victims for sale at vastly inflated prices.

Kobold facts: kobold firefighters are required in every warren. These kobolds fill the same role as in other societies, often in addition to their regular jobs - however there is a new dimension to the role when battling literal fire elementals is added to the mix.

Kobold facts: the Fang, the shadowy kobold mafia, represents roughly 80 percent of the kobold goon population in the underkingdom. It is one of the few organizations that can give dragons pause, and many a wyrmling has needed an ‘education’ in kobold worker relations over the years.

Yankin’ on the pull start of this here stream (it’s art time baybeeee)
