Kobold

Kobolds are a diminutive lizardlike race normally found in dark caves and dungeons. They have cartilaginous skeletons that give them the ability to squeeze through small spaces. Thought to be descended from dragons, they are the most populous race in the Dark Below. Within The Empire, they are not legally considered people, so killing them isn’t a crime.
