The lowly kobold is often neglected in comparison to more powerful and dangerous opponents, but this is a serious error, as kobolds are surprisingly clever foes who rarely face an opponent in direct combat, but use ambushes, ranged weapons and traps to wear down much stronger foes. Interestingly, as distant cousins of dragons, kobolds have an extremely high resistance to fire and can move through fire without any danger to themselves and as a consequence, they are extremely, some say, unnaturally fond of the most dangerous of the elements. 

Kobolds are commonly found in abandoned dragon dens, and worship any relics of dragons as religious fetishes. Kobolds are also commonly found in occupied dragon dens as well, serving as menial labour and devoted cultists to dragons. 

Imagine ravenous little dragon creeps crawling through the flames, steel stoked red hot, ready to tear you to pieces. That is pretty metal.
