Stelladeos TTRPG

A side-blog for the development chronicles of a TTRPG made by two people: Goldeklee and Jerry. Almost everything is a work in progress. No promises they'll stay the same.

Catiss Kobold, the alternative to the previously established Venix Kobold (who prior to now did not have a subrace name, they were just *the* Kobold).

Further disgraced from their draconic ancestors than most, the Catiss endure shame from many other Kobold. Their faces are wider, and sport large cobra-like frills on the sides. Their scales are so small they can almost be mistaken for fur. Brushing a Catiss backwards is certain to cut one’s hand open. Their innate element is water.

Catiss bodies are quite long, from both limb and torso. However, their hind legs come up short, ironically giving them a silhouette closer to that of a true dragon than their brethren. Catiss tails have far less girth to them than that of the Venix, seeming far skinnier overall. Their scales range from blue to purple.

While we've not fully discussed whether or not to include sub races yet, I (Klee) have been working on sub races for the Kobold for funsies. I'll have to draw them up later, but the Kobolds posted here already are what we'll call Venix Kobold. A new subrace, Catiss, are more cobra-like in appearance, being even further away from their draconic lineage than their Venix brethren.

A fairly quick human design! Humans are something of a common race, being found in all factions.

Design for Dwarves! Stocky, wide, and with an appetite for stone and good ale.

The art style will likely see the *most* changes over time, really. Finding something that is easy enough for me to draw consistently, but also appealing is shockingly hard!

"Once considered a member of the dragon gene tree, the Kobold are the result of irresponsible breeding by an unknown entity. Some Kobold believe that they were stripped of their dragonic status for their sins, while others wonder if it is a challenge by the gods. Both schools of thinking collectively agreed that to make up for their losses, they needed to get creative. Through centuries of intense study, the Kobold have become some of the brightest mechanical engineers in the world.

To create is to strive. To strive is to create. These feline-esque serpents take great pride in their mechanical works, often forming Lab Bonds with like-minded Kobold and even their Dwarven allies. Lab Bonds act as a miniature company, often crafting specific products. Oft treasured are Lab Bonds that produce firearms and vehicles. To craft a tool that gets adopted as Machinist Standard is considered one of the highest honors bestowed upon a Kobold.

Blunt, and analytical by nature, the Kobold do not sugarcoat their words well. They tend to hold specific interests in their crafts, a specific interest that they have great understanding of. Should a Kobold catch wind of a discussion involving such an interest, they are likely to butt into the conversation, adding their insight to the matter. They are known to dip out of conversation abruptly, however, if it is not stimulating enough."
