Crypt kobolds: AC 10; MV 6; HD %; THACO 20; #AT 1; Dmg 1d4 (hammer), 1 d6 (hand axe) or by weapon; SD regenerate 1hp per round; SZ S (3’ tall); ML Elite (14); Int avg (%10); AL LE;XP 25.Notes: Crypt kobolds exist nowhere but on the demiplane Lyzandred has claimed for his crypt. They have grass-green, scaly skins; their eyes glow purple and their small horns are pale green. On Lyzandred’s demiplane, they are as likely to be awakeand doing things by day as by night (though they suffer a -1 penalty to attack rolls in bright light); if they are taken elsewhere, they become nocturnal. They have 60-foot infravision.
Lyzandred‘s kobolds do not often start a fight unless ordered to do so. If crypt kobolds do not outnumber their opponents by at least 8-to-1 , they send runners to summon more kobolds. If crypt kobolds are reduced to a ratio of only 3-to-2 in their favor, or if their commander is killed or incapacitated, they must make a morale check.
Crypt kobolds on Lyzandred‘s demiplane have an unusual advantage. The lich keeps a close eye on happenings in his domain, and it more than 100 kobolds are killed by a single party of adventurers visiting the demiplane, he islikely to-intervene, sending larger, more dangerous creatures to dealwith the threat. In this case, the kobolds happily retreat fromthe battle.

These look like they could just be Kobolds with a half-troll template.
This conversion shouldn't take very long.

Since the stats posted above has a few funny characters and spacing issues, here's a cleaned-up version:
Crypt kobolds: AC 10; MV 6; HD ½; THACO 20; #AT 1; Dmg 1d4 (hammer), 1d6 (hand axe) or by weapon; SD regenerate 1 hp per round; SZ S (3’ tall); ML Elite (14); Int avg (8–10); AL LE;XP 25.

They've got better Morale, but that's about it.
Maybe a bonus on saves vs. fear and to resist Intimidation checks?

Yep, with slightly different gear.
