i have pet chickens, i make drawings, and i write software of questionable usefulness. that's pretty much the extent of my personality. ask me about array programming, decker, or anything, really.


For decades, the fantasy world-building debate has raged on: are kobolds little dog people, or little lizard people? Perhaps they're somewhere in between? What delightful animal, dear reader, lies dead-center on this spectrum, combining the fluffiness, inquisitive nature, and tireless enthusiasm of dogs with the scaly alien radiance, egg-laying, and pointy faces of lizards? Chickens. What if kobolds... were little chicken people? What, indeed!

I recognize that this proposal is radical and may be controversial, but I hope kobold enjoyers everywhere will consider it with open minds. Bless.

I do think that if anyone's chicken people, it'd surely be goblins. chickens only work together when it's convenient, and they betray one another on a dime. They're incredibly chaotic creatures. I do like giving kobolds feathers, though!

Here's an actual middle ground idea: I've long felt that when kobolds have fur, it should be like feathers and down, implying they're closer to birds than mammals. fluffbolds are actually more similar to young chicks in terms of what their fluff is made of. anyways, we could still give them plumage like different chicken breeds, so you could have wyandotte kobolds and golden sebrite kobolds and fluffy little cochin/polish/silky kobolds.
