There is a fairly common genetic mutation in the Red Kobold line that produces very large, ridiculously strong "Swolbolds."  These Swobolds are not very bright but can be very dangerous opponents.  Blue Kobolds are magic wielders and trap masters.  They make up the ruling caste of Kobold Society and are advisors to the Kobold King.  Kobold Kings are always selected from the Green Kobold masses via divination.  It might seem like this is just a way to control the masses of Kobold society, but Kobold Kings do seem to be the largest and strongest of their species and have a head for tactics.<br/><br/><div align="center">~*~</div><br/>? ? ?, The New-Queen of the Caves<br/><br/><div align="center">(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/70/2c/6c/702c6cf7e374a02d1da0a5f794858a38.jpg)</div><br/>A Mysterious antagonist who has moved into the Forlorn hills for an unknown reason...
