I've seen it brought up as some kind of [positive] comment a couple times now...don't geddit. What is a "Lombax?"

To save you the horror of googling "Lombax" (because my god the amount of "OC don't steal") here's two of the characters from the franchise:

"Grovel, Cower, and Beg" is completely inconsistent with the lore, past or present; kobolds might grovel when they have to, but the little prideful guys doing it in the middle of combat for advantage? It's also idiotic to require a rest to "recharge"; I cowered last combat so I'm too, what, too tired to cower this combat? And, hey, let's not just shortchange them on bonuses compared to other races (no +1), let's also give them a -2 ability penalty, declaring hard-working miners to be weaker than lazy layabout halflings. So, yeah, not downvoting kobolds, downvoting the poorly-designed insult to kobolds that got published.

Lizardfolk, on the other hand, just pop with design consistent with the lore and no logical lacunae; of course you need downtime to make something, or have a limit on how often you can go into a frenzy without resting.
