A large kobold, k, is a type of monster that appears in NetHack. It has a slightly stronger weapon attack than a normal kobold, and possesses poison resistance like most kobolds.

A large kobold's corpse is poisonous to eat.

Generation

Randomly-generated large kobolds are always hostile. A kobold can grow up into a large kobold.

A large kobold has a 14 chance of generating with a stack of darts.[1]

Strategy

Large kobolds are generally only a threat to severely weak starting characters, though they can still be a danger if they have picked up a weapon before such a character encounters them. Their starting darts may also be poisoned as well.

History

The large kobold first appears in NetHack 3.0.0.

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.
