Kobold assassins are trained killers, and good at their craft. Quicker and sneakier than the average of its race, they are usually sent out by Dragons to make short work of unwanted enemies. However, there are cases where a tribe wants a particular enemy dead (commonly powerful adventurers or Gnomes) that they can't effectively kill, and as such they will send an assassin to do the job for them.
