Unlike other races, there are two large stereotypes associated with the kobolds by players: some see them as little more than (semi-intelligent) vermin who only exist to annoy, and as such they go to great lengths for the chance to catch and kill kobold thieves. The other, arguably more prominent stereotype, however, treats kobolds as small, cutesy creatures who are endearingly stupid in their attempts to steal your trinkets, and as such generate great amounts of sympathy. These are typically given the name of "cutebold" (with the ''DF'' community possibly being responsible for creating the term) and are depicted as small, flappy-eared dog or lizard people rather than their canon "smaller brown goblin" look, who like rubbing their noses to display affection and are about as smart as an actual dog or lizard. Cutebolds are typically treated as being incredibly innocent, childish and ineffectual, which brings up interesting connotations when they interact with the gruff, hardy and [[fun]] dwarves. Whether they fall into "too cute to kill" or "just the right amount of cute that makes them VERY killable" is another matter entirely. | Unlike other races, there are two large stereotypes associated with the kobolds by players: some see them as little more than (semi-intelligent) vermin who only exist to annoy, and as such they go to great lengths for the chance to catch and kill kobold thieves.
