      They get even more cute when you read through the volo's guide to monsters. It says that they have a big hate against the gnomes and vice versa, but the hate only comes to passive agressive jabs like stacking cleaned dishes in such a way that the gnome has a high chance to knock it over and all other "home alone" style of pranks.

    I once played a game where a variety of decisions by my party lead me to become the kobold king.
    We were tasked with recovering a stolen wagon of powdered paints (that as it was revealed the creatures had mistaken for actual silver and gold)
    The party consisted of a Fighter who loved the lime light as long as he was assured victory.
    A wizard who frankly was ready to run away at the drop of a pin.
    And me a rouge who had a love for money and a complex of loving luxury and wanted to be worshiped, like those fancy nobles.
    Now while tracking we had run into some wolves that were easily taken care of and not ones to shy away from a chance to save or make money we skinned them for their pelts and meat for rations.
    We eventually found the lair of the little guys only to find that rather than being draconic in appearance this tribe were fur covered leaving them with an almost dog like look to them. The party decided i should scout it out so we fashioned a disguise from wolf skin and hoped the wouldn't question my height or look to closely.
    I snuck in careful of any trip wires or traps but took a wrong turn and ended up in a chamber filled with them. Thankfully they were dumb.... i mean dumb.... i convinced them i was from another tribe and i wanted to join them and had come to warn them of some adventures on their way.
    They believed me and in anticipation began to shore up their defences.
    Its around this time my team began to worry i had not returned and so the fighter ran in screaming dragging a panic stricken wizard with him setting off every alarm on the way.
    When they arrive they are ambushed and shocked to see me spear in hand behind a make shift barricade with their foes.
    In the destruction of the ambush i snuck up to the chief who sat comfortably behind all his men a beast of a Kobold rippling muscles covered in jewellery, covering his mouth i slipped my blade between his ribs while his men were clashing with the fighter. I removed his head and held it a loft.
    The kobolds were shook they stood mouth agape and the fighter used this opportunity to grab the biggest and hold a blade to his neck.
    With an intimidation check we had hoped they would lay down their weapons and the fight would be done... but they were under the impression i was a kobold and that their chief was unbeatable. So when i barked at them to get down on the ground... to our surprise they bowed. Suddenly my character had all he wanted before him, gold and praise. We persuaded them to give up the paints and used the money from our reward to buy better weapons and armour for the tribe and in time set about absorbing other tibes training them in stealth and combat to assist us in quests to amass more gold. In time my character became so intoxicated by the gold and worship he began to truly believe himself kobold.

    This is so refreshing to see. I'm playing a kobold cleric, Garu Greyclaw. And everyday he tries his best to show everyone he meets that Kobolds can be good...by smashing his mace in undead faces.

    that story was really cool. I like the idea of being able to develop methods of handling the tiny often subservient bad guy races other than just murdering them. the idea that brokering a small peace in exchange for coin, robes and other various trinkets to the point the kobolds named him their dragon and leader is a cool and amazing end to the story. Following thoughtform; after roscoe passes he could become a minor draconic diety and still help his kobolds in the pass

    This reminds me, paying PathFinder, King Maker campaign, we encounter Kobolds who loved blue mushrooms and only saw COPPER as a valuable treasure, NOT Gold. ME as a Druid quickly offered ALL the blue mushrooms we previously encounter and we became friends. I would bring them blue shrooms & copper (all the spare change we had) in exchange of gems and gold they lootes from caves and dungeons around the area. I even BEGGED the GM that I wanted ONE of those Kobolds to join our party as she developed an almost love interest with one specific one, who later became their new leader of the tribe.

      I also played that campaign, I had heard that there would be a kóbold tribe somewhere... so I asked my GM to allow me to incarnate a kóbold that was part of that tribe but had strayed back almost a decade ago for matters with the bandits in the area. Did you know that there is a feat in pathfinder that you can get from level 7 called "Leadership" ?, and with it you can have followers and a companion that accompanies you and fights with you (which cannot have a level greater than the level of your character -2). Did they use that feat to represent the Kobold who joined their group?

    Rosco Dalton the Kobold King sounds like an amazing NPC I’d love to see. A human leader of a kobold tribe who almost sees himself as a dragon? Give him a pet wyvern and a small hoard shared by the whole tribe and you’ve got some good stuff. Not hostile on sight, maybe even have it be a bustling enough community that the party can help, stay there temporarily, or what else, as long as they can offer treasures for pay, not necessarily gold but actual treasure items.

    great episode I too love the little guys
    My party was able to recruit a hoard of kobolds for their guild after they killed a adult green dragon.
    the dragon made used the kobolds to dig her maze like lair and forced them to defend her from intruders
    however when the party arrived at the lair they found it free of kobolds as the whole hoard had left to steal the "heart of the forest" a massive ruby and stock of treasure.
    They did this in spite of the wishes of the dragon as she didn't want them leaving her undefended But the kobolds thought it was because she didn't think they could and she didn't want them to die even though in reality she couldn't care less about them.
    so they went off anyway to try and win the dragons favor and were successful at getting the heart but when they met the party who was weighted down by loot and dragon parts at the entrance to the liar.
    realizing there old leader was dead the koblods made the choose to join the party's guild instead of trying to fight them or survive without the dragon
    and that is how the party recruited the kobold krew.

      @@mattiaboscherini4001 I mean, even in forgotten realms (I.E, the most “traditional” D&D) you’ve got fallen angels and redeemed devils. But for the most part, I agree. I also think unintelligent animals are pretty much always just going to fall into neutral and that makes sense. A bear isn’t innately malicious, but it’ll still maul you if you’re in the wrong place at the wrong time. Same with constructs, like you said. An iron golem who was made to guard a door isn’t evil for smashing anyone who tries to go through said door. It’s an object doing what it was made to do, lawful neutral. My main belief is that intelligent monsters are capable of being good or evil and so strict alignments make no sense.
