Kobolds are a fictional race of humanoid creatures featured in the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game and other fantasy media. They are often depicted as small reptilian humanoids with long tails, distantly related to dragons.
In fantasy roleplaying games, kobolds are often used as weak "cannon fodder" monsters, similar to goblins, but they may be cunning and strong in groups.
