The Quintessential Kobold (2004)

From the introduction:

What is it with kobolds anyway? We have this image of these screaming little creatures, with dusky red scales and glowing eyes. They fight with spears and slings, unleash hell in the form of complex ambushes and die by the score on bright blades. For all of their fearsome yipping kobolds exist as cannon fodder and ‘primers’. No start up adventure is complete without the chance for our fresh farm boys to skewer a few kobolds. However, kobolds do not feel so blasé about the wholesale slaughter of their people. In fact, one could argue that they regard genocide as something to be avoided. How then do these weak, ineffective people survive in a world that is out to get them?
