The kobold boss is a kobold warrior who has been at this for a while. They've taught other kobolds how to survive, and are usually leading a large group of kobolds that include a good number of kobold warriors. Although not as fast as they once were, the boss is tougher for all their experience. Kobold bosses almost always attract the interest of dragons. While they all like being worshiped and adored by kobolds, having a strong kobold that can actually do things like guard lairs and complete relatively complicated tasks is a pretty big deal. Dragons will often make gifts of their scales for use in dragon scale mail for these leaders. This is the sort of kobold that could potentially live to be 200 years old, as long as they continue to gather kobold warriors and a few dragontouched kobolds to serve them.
