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 1⁄4 chance of generating with a stack of darts.[1]
History
The kobold first appears in Hack 1.21, a variant of Jay Fenlason's Hack, and also appears in Hack for PDP-11. It is included in the initial bestiary for Hack 1.0.
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.
