What are Kobolds, seriously?
I tried looking them up and they could either be feline-like, reptilian or rodent, as you drew.
I wanna design kobolds myself but I can't seem to settle on something.

The kobolds as I depicted them were to look like rodent-humanoids, but it is one way of seeing it. the popular dungeno & dragon universe make them into a mix of reptiles and dogs - humanoids.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kobold
"The kobold (occasionally cobold) is a sprite stemming from Germanic mythology and surviving into modern times in German folklore . Although usually invisible, a kobold can materialise in the form of an animal, fire, a human being, and a candle. The most common depictions of kobolds show them as humanlike figures the size of small children. Kobolds who live in human homes wear the clothing of peasants; those who live in mines are hunched and ugly; and kobolds who live on ships smoke pipes and wear sailor clothing."
At the end of the day, it's up to you to decide how to graphically interpret the myth...
