# Kobold (SLASH'EM)
SLASH'EM introduces three new types of kobolds and a unique kobold, Kroo the Kobold King; all varieties of kobold can be found on their own special level, known simplay as the kobold level.  They are also generated randomly.
The new non-unique kobolds in SLASH'EM are fairly indistinct: only their increased hit dice and damage dice distinguish them from vanilla kobolds.  All can occasionally present a danger to characters with poor AC, but are otherwise not overly threatening.

Swamp kobold
Swamp kobolds have one more HD than kobold lords, but do a similar amount of damage in melee.  Despite what their name might suggest, they cannot swim.

Kobold warrior
Kobold warriors are the strongest of the new generic kobolds, having over twice the HD of a kobold lord.  This is contrast to the new gnome warriors, who are virtually identical to their kings.

Encyclopedia entry

The race of kobolds are reputed to be an artificial creation of a master wizard (demi-god?).  They are about 3' tall with a vaguely dog-like face.  They bear a violent dislike of the Elven race, and will go out of their way to cause trouble for Elves at any time.
