Holy crap!  Tail /STOPS./<br/><br/>Well, kobolds are SUPER weird.  Originally they were little gnome-sorta-things in most mythologies, early D&D had them as furry little dog creatures, I believe, and later kobolds have been called 'lizard dogs' in certain places.  They 'yip' and 'yap' which are both super dog like, I /think/ their head shape is supposed to be like a dog's.
