# Ancestry: Kobold <img src='https://www.gmbinder.com/images/hfki2BM.png' style= 'position: absolute; bottom:975px; right: 340px; height:30px'> ___ Kobolds are some of the smallest draconic creatures in the world. They display their draconic ancestry in the glint of their scales and in their roars, but are often dismissed as cowardly, foolish, and weak. Despite these dismissals, these little reptilian creatures actually have a strong social structure that stresses devotion to the tribe, are clever with their hands, and viciously work together in order to overcome their physical limitations. In some lands, kobolds serve chromatic or metallic dragons — even worshiping them as divine beings. In other places, kobolds know too well how dangerous those dragons can be and help others defend against draconic destruction. ___ Whatever their relationship to dragons, kobold scales tend to be rust colored and have short horns, although the occasional kobold sports a scale color more akin to that of a chromatic or a metallic dragon. A kobold’s cry can express a range of emotion: anger, resolve, elation, fear, and more. Regardless of the emotion expressed, their cry resonates with draconic power. They have eyes of any color. ___ ### Kobold Traits **Ability Score Increase.** One ability score of your choice increases by 2, and another by 1, to a maximum of 20. ___ **Age.** Kobolds reach adulthood at age 6 and can live up to 120 years but rarely do so. ___ **Alignment.** Kobolds are fundamentally selfish, making them evil, but their reliance on the strength of their group makes them trend toward law. ___ **Creature Type.** You are a Humanoid.
