Just what it says on the tin.Personally I feel kind of sorry for them,and it takes a special kind of bravery to break into a dwarf fortress to steal a wool sock!

[Sergarr]

They're way too fragile to survive world-gen in most cases.

I think they need to be stronger. I always give them iron, mail shirts, leather, scimitars, whips, spears, helms, and shields. Also make them not flee on sight, a bit bigger, and naturally professional dodgers. This makes them weaker than goblins, but stronger than before.

[Dyret]

A lot more now that they occasionally steal from vaults.

I have found in the most recent versions that kobolds are more likely to survive than goblins. To my dismay, because while legendary kobold thieves are somewhat intriguing I miss consistent goblin siegery.

They are exterminated, as with all other vermin. They simply require a guardsman instead of a cat to remove from the premises.

I learned the other day that kobolds arent scaly little lizardfolk, but apparently tiny furries.  I was disappoint.

  They, in DF, are too weak and disorganized.  I would like to see them be a little better, even if they ant have metal.  They should, for instance, have some defense.  It saddens me to see 100thousand elves in a world, but 2thousand kobolds.

I gave them new weapons and jobs, and mischievous.  I sometimes consider replacing them entirely with something more capable, or buffing them . . .  Some reason to acknowledge them, a reason for them to have an entity status.

Wait, you mean they're not like these kobolds?

I always assumed they were half the size of those, and more timid.

For me, kobold sjould look like the little lizard that spits acidic goo in Jurassic Park.

[Matoro]

Modding kobolds stronger is a heresy.

Kobolds are like Dwarf Fortress hobbits; a merry small people living in their own hole-communities. And they are very stealthy and brave.

Think that next time you kill a kobold.

Acually in dwarf fortress they look more like a puny stupid furry goblin

I certainly know that if I was 2 feet tall I'd run from a horde of Dwarven Berserkers!

[smjjames]

I give them the ability to speak (normally), but they're still really rare.

As for what they look like, I sort of imagine them somewhat like Jawas (partly because same color eye glow). Also, to those that say that they're like the reptillians, they don't actually have tails ingame.

I imagine them as being sort of repto-mammalian, given that they have both reptillian and mammalian traits. Actually, looking at the raws as I type, they seem to be hairless?

[Zarathustra30]

Kobolds are awesome. The only reason there is any argument is because there is not enough stuff to steal. Yet.
