The terror of the present, and apparently very angry and real dragon seems to have cowed the kobolds enough to stop their panicking... mostly. They're still making an incredible amount of noise, as they start trying to talk over each other to explain; near as he can tell, though, Sharptooth is a draconic figure, part champion and part boogeyman, for this kobold tribe; responsible for both their successes, and their punishment for failure. It's fairly clear the figure is fictional, possibly with some basis in reality, at some point... but as far as this small group is concerned, he is very real... and very much standing in front of them, as they manage to explain 'his' legend to him.
