Ooh, I love that version. So cute, you just don't want to kill them 
I didn't recall them being that fugly. Wow!
I agree that having two versions is cool; little dragonborn babies and little gnoll babies...and both are shifty and rabid! Good times.

Ick, is that from the Monstrous Compendium binders ?
I'm only fam with Tony D's version in the 2E Monstrous Manual
While it was a mistake according to Gary, I like the original scaly dog-like yippers, not sure WTF happened in 3E to turn them into mini dragons.
How it saw them during the Compendium era prior to the Monstrous Manual.
If someone gives the ok I will get the MMII and Monstrous Manual images placed up here for people to see, but don't want to violate copyright on it if it would not be fair-use for the discussion to use the image in this thread.
@Klaus:
That site is all about being illegal, so you may want to remove the 2e kobold image, as it is from the AD&D Core Rules CD-ROM for that entire MM version used from the HTML books folder of it.

JustaNobody - might I point you in the direction of a Google search on the concept of "Fair Use"? Editorial commentary on the differences in artistic representations is most certainly fair use. If, on the other hand, we were trying to pass off the art as belonging to someone else, or trying to sell this art as if we could, then you would have a point.
But, as this is pretty easily covered by fair use, you don't have to worry.

Well I don't know too much about it other than to use it in proper context for research or acedemic reasons, and text is easier to handle, so I will hold off on the MMII image until I feel safer about it personally. I watched the Harry Potter case closely, but fair use is one BIG gray area if you pardon my bit of paranoia on it.
