Black Kobold

Black Kobolds are usually born in murky wetlands under a shrewd black dragon. They are naturally adept swimmers who traverse the slow-moving waters of their homeland with ease, often searching for treasure long since lost to the muddy depths. Gifted with intrinsic intelligence, many pursue intellectual studies.
