Kobold is the monster class whose monsters are represented by k. The four members of this class are described below.
All kobolds are poisonous to eat, and do not convey poison resistance. Notably, kobolds are nearly always found carrying several darts. According to German Mythology, Kobolds normally start out as benvolent nix, but are either ignored or angered by humans, causing them to act out, or in this case, attack.

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.
