40d:Kobold
Kobolds are small humanoids, (slightly smaller than dwarves). They are technologically backward and use copper weapons.
In dungeon fortress mode Kobold thieves will raid you, generally timing their attacks to coincide with the arrival of caravans. They're stealthy little rascals and are a good reason to channel all traffic in and out of your fort into a single location and to guard that spot well, preferably with dogs. Once discovered and caught, a kobold can generally be killed by any armed dwarf and most civilians.
In adventure mode Kobolds live in caves. They will have guards, soldiers, civilians, children, and the occasional quite dangerous weaponmaster. Kobolds are deadly with a bow but generally easy meat in melee, even for a novice adventurer. Kobold caves are full of trinkets and kobolds themselves wear clothing, weapons, and small-sized armor.
