Kobold Rider

Kobold Riders first emerge in Dungeon Crawler Carl as diminutive, chihuahua-sized upright bipeds clad in makeshift armor scavenged from the dungeon environment. Resembling armored dogs, they don chainmail fashioned from flattened beer cans and spiked metal helmets while brandishing long feathered spears repurposed as lances. These early encounters establish them as agile, low-level threats that riders use to harass crawlers in the initial floors, setting the tone for escalating monster complexity across the series.
