The '''kobold shaman''' is among the lowest-level spellcasting monsters in NetHack. If generated at its base level, it can't actually cast anything, as [[monster level]] 2 gives no chance of success with [[monster spell]]s. A level 3 kobold shaman has a {{frac|3}} chance of successfully casting [[psi bolt]], [[cure self]], or [[haste self]].

A kobold, k, is a type of monster that appears in NetHack. It is one of the earliest monsters that you will encounter in the dungeon, and has a single weapon attack and poison resistance.

A kobold's corpse is poisonous to eat.

Generation

Randomly-generated large kobolds are always hostile. Large kobolds may appear among the various k generated in throne rooms. A kobold can grow up into a large kobold.

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

Origin

In German mythology, kobolds are generally benevolent nix, though they will act out or even attack if they are ignored or angered by humans.

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.
