Kobold names are small but fiercely proud. Generate names for trap-layers, dragon cultists, and the kobold who insists they are basically a dragon.

Kobold name flavor in 5e play

Kobold names are often clipped, hissy, and slightly ridiculous on purpose — the comedy lands harder when the same creature later drops a clever trap. Many tables let kobolds append a dragon’s title (“of Ashardalon”) as devotion rather than lineage.

For PCs, generate a warren-name and a Common nickname. The tension between “Meepo” at home and “Marshal” in the city is free character work.

Examples you can drop in tonight

Scouts: Yixik, Tiknak, Meepzor.

Engineers: Kibtrap, Sorzik “Tripwire,” Riktik the Lever.

Dragon-sworn: Zix of the Red, Nakash of Bahamut’s Shadow (ironic cultists welcome).
