Shadow kobolds are not like normal kobolds they are rarely seen in the Material Plane, but when you do come across with one, they will attack and bring you to their dragon that they serve. They mainly serve shadow and black dragons, but they are mostly found in the Shadowfell with or without a pact. These kobolds tend to give into their wild side and more draconic ways making them very unpredictable. If you want to play this kobold you get the normal kobold stuff but in addition you get +2 to STR and shadow blend allowing you to take the hide action as a bonus action, and at third level you can cast the spell dragons breath at will and cannot be counter spell, you can use this feature again after a short or long rest.
