Quick question whats a Kobold Commando?

[Dwimmerlied]

I encountered them years ago playing Baldur's gate, and I think they might have their roots in older gaming, but I'm not sure exactly what they are. Are they simply kobolds that can breathe fire? or are they low-level sorcerers with an ability to cast some fire spell?

As per several Baldur's Gate faqs, they are kobolds equipped with fire arrows. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdvLMNnL99c

They came from somewhere. I don't think it was "Tucker's Kobolds".

Hard to say...might just have been a natural evolution from the alliteration. I know I used kobold commando's back in AD&D (I think).


Added: I just had them as nasty little kobolds with hide in shadows and move silently. And long daggers and berets. Oh, and at some point one of them had the old assassinate %. Ahh the memories.
