Meet Calypso! My First Full/Finished Kobold pic I’ve done! I ADORE her! I’ve done sketches of kobolds before.
My headcanon is that they are 80/90% Reptile and the last 20/10% is mammal. It’s those doggie noses!

A lot of the lore in my setting revolves around a war between the five original ("Old") gods and the eldritch forces of the Far Realms (which in my setting is actually known as the Far Ocean and is associated with water and darkness), culminating in an apocalyptic war ("the Flood") that wiped away the golden era of civilization and killed off the Old Gods, leaving new civilizations and New Gods to emerge afterwards and setting up the classical sort of D&D world.
Dragons were originally created as servants by the Old Gods and were tasked with protecting places from mortal interference. During the Flood, the Old Gods didn't have enough dragons to send into battle effectively, so they did something to some of them and split them apart, creating the Dragonborn (some legends speak of each dragon that fell against the forces of the Far Ocean "springing back up" as Dragonborn warriors from their dismembered corpses).
Kobolds, meanwhile, are the cast-offs, the leftovers of that process. Too weak and cowardly to be of help during the Flood, they were nonetheless tenacious enough to survive it.
Feelings between Kobolds and Dragonborn are mixed on both sides; some Dragonborn see kobolds as weak and pathetic things, others as deserving of pity. Kobolds often hate Dragonborn as a reminder of what they were "supposed" to have been, but some idolize them instead for similar reasons. The Kobold penchant for serving dragons is also a sort of compensation, hoping to earn the favour of their progenitors and become greater through proximity.
