Ever since I played the Neverwinter Nights video game and had Deekin accompany me through the whole game...I have never lost my love for Kobolds.I know, those aren't official DnD art, but most of those pictures look absolutely ridiculous to me, and not very representative of how those races are usually portrayed; have you ever seen a more unthreatening Minotaur?
So obviously, the most absurd will be chosen as the next race; this means Harengon (seriously, that is a thing? What the heck) or Tortle (the perfect character to name Victor Meldrew - only British people over a certain age will get that).
But even those would be more acceptable to me than Kobold. I'm really not a fan, and I'm not sure why so many people are so gung-ho about them being playable. The ancestry with dragons is so remote it may as well not exist, and to me Kobolds are meant to be the trash we turn into pulp on our way from level 1 to 2. They certainly have no place in epic, legendary or even high level heroic content, but I digress.
