=== Canidas Kobolds ===

The canidas kobolds share the same general body shape as their draconis cousins, but despite their hard scales, their faces greatly resemble those of small dogs - complete with whiskers. They have no unusual facility with magic, but are trapsmiths without equal; and while an individual canidas is small threat, they work together instinctively, swarming larger foes like ants. They are as adept at mining as their reptilian cousins, and are even more skilled at mechanisms, such as their beloved crossbows.
Canidas kobolds stand between 2’ 6” and 3’ in height, just a few spare inches taller than their kin. Their scales are thicker than those of the draconis, but their heads and faces are scaleless. In coloration they are always some shade of brown, with large yellow or orange eyes.
