About

A brawny looking kobold brandishes a manticore spike driven through its scaled hand.

Leaders. Barbed kobolds are physically stronger than their brethren and bear the scars of living close to manticores.

Marked. Barbed kobolds are known by the large tail spike driven through their wrist and hand. They are immune to the poison that still seeps from the spike.
