Kobold

:"Kobolds are a cowardly, sadistic race of short humanoids that vigorously contest the human and demi-human races for living space and food. They especially dislike gnomes and attack them on sight. They smell of damp dogs and stagnant water. Because of the kobolds' fondness for wearing raggedy garb of red and orange, their non-prehensile tails, and their language (which sounds like small dogs yapping), these fell creatures are often not taken seriously. This is often a fatal mistake, for what they lack in size and strength they make up in ferocity and tenacity." - 2 Edition Monstrous Manual
__TOC__
Arcadian Kobolds are canine, not reptilian.

It takes 16 months for a newborn Kobold will mature into an adult. Infant mortality rate is of Kobold 10%, but they are born into large litters. Litter size d6 + 4 (d4+8 under improve fertility spell).
The life expectancy of a Kobold is low as they are many things in the world that kill them, but they can live until 40–50 years.
