There's also a sense of dread from the very beginning, and it's attention-grabbing that creatures that we would normally call monsters are so terrified of this thing. As always, I love how you blend the fantasy elements and real-life elements so well (such as having these creatures talk about old comics or mention modern TV shows). At the same time you add human touches and insert factoids such as how kobold children grow their hair.

Also, for the record, the computer game Castle of the Winds portrays kobolds as some kind of dwarfish miner-warriors. I'll have to see if I can find an article. The game World of Warcraft depicts them as giant rat men with picks and huge white whiskers. D&D books do, apparently, depict them as lizardfolk-like creatures but smaller, weaker, and with more dog-like tones.
