Kobolds

[Ferret]

Reptilian with dreams of dragonhood.

 

[lukelightning]

I vote canines - Woof!

More like "yap!"

 

[Darkness]

I like the "distant relatives of Dragons" concept, myself -- Deviant, backwards, embarrasing distant relatives of dragons.

That's how I see them as well, though you put it better than I would have, lazy as I am.

 

[werk]

Therapsids.

???

 

[yennico]

Reptiles...that really, really want to be more like Dragons.

ditto

 

[Tonguez]

Therapsids.

Yep I go Therapsids too

and imc Dragons are also Therapsids (evolved Dimetrodon - a double back-sail became wings)

and it is because of this that kobolds falsely claim dragon-hood

(ps I also reckon that Platypi are Therapsids (rather than mammals) too)

 

[Mouseferatu]

Reptiles with somewhat canine features.

Bah. You're completely backwards. Everyone who's played long enough knows they're canines with some reptilian features.

 

[Ralif Redhammer]

Yapping dogmen. The kobold belongs in the goblinoid hierarchy. We already have at least one race of Lizardfolk already.

 

[Roadkill101]

IMO they're a canine reptile mix, making them something else entirely.

 

[Sejs]

???

Yep. Just put that on its hind legs, tweak the features a bit to make 'em more humanoid, give 'em a spear and a smock and bammo - kobold.
