Dark vision 7 | Faster running 1

Cobolds are human-like creatures, but they have much of the wolf in them. They live in organized packs led by a leader, most often in hills or sparse forests, where they build primitive huts of wicker and clay.

They live mainly by hunting: they drive their prey like a wolf pack, and thanks to their cleverness they also use torches and traps. They do not scorn a lone traveler either, but they avoid larger settlements and caravans so as not to have trouble with humans. Cleverer packs also keep their own animals, which the women look after.

They are vain and love to adorn themselves, but they are poor craftsmen, so trading with them can be profitable. They offer hides, antlers and trophies, and some even know deposits of gold and other raw materials that they cannot work themselves.

Combat

Cobolds fight as a well-coordinated pack, and their leader directs them in battle. They like to make use of superior numbers and surprise, fight with clubs, and in a grapple they are dangerous with their claws as well.
