More from Omny87
Those of you who are familiar with manga/anime featuring kobolds, such as Monster Musume or Dungeon Meshi, will know that in Japan, kobolds are interpreted as being more canine than draconic. What happens when we bring them together?
If you'd like to see more art like this one month earlier, consider becoming a patron HERE for free art, commission discounts, and more! Otherwise, my art will be posted one month later on Tumblr, omny87.deviantart.com, and Furaffinity.
Alternatively, you can buy me a coffee.

I mean, German folklore would be kinda baffled by either appearance, from what I can tell:
"Although usually invisible, a kobold can materialize in the form of an animal, fire, a human being, and a candle. The most common depictions of kobolds show them as humanlike figures the size of small children."

The funniest part of this is that neither are the original version of kobolds, and the reptilian ones aren't even in line with Dungeons & Dragons. :P The name "kobold" comes from "cobalt"; in old German mines when their equipment broke down they'd blame it on kobolds sort of like gremlins. They basically looked like stereotypical goblins. And the D&D ones are more like dog/rat hybrids with reptilian scales rather than small dragon people.
So yeah, there are at least four different types of kobolds in mythology and history. :P
