This is pose 1 of our Kobold Chief range by Novaminis. Where most kobolds are dismissed as mere cannon fodder, this Chief makes a compelling argument that size and cunning are not mutually exclusive. Broad-shouldered and battle-scarred, he stands with a heavy axe resting across his body and a massive spiked shield braced at his side — both etched with intricate tribal markings that speak to long years of hard-won authority. Horns crown his reptilian head, jagged spines ridge his back, and layered scale armour covers his torso, each piece worn with the quiet confidence of a warlord who has survived a great many adventuring parties. His taloned feet are planted wide, his stance unhurried. He does not need to rush. The traps are already set.

Whether you run him as a cunning miniboss commanding a kobold warren, a dragonborn cultist chieftain, or a recurring villain who keeps escaping by knowing the tunnels better than anyone else, this sculpt brings real character to what is often a throwaway encounter. Equally at home on a display shelf as on the table, the detail in the shield carvings, armour texture, and facial expression rewards a careful paint job.

Perfect for adventurers who:

  • Need a memorable, characterful kobold leader for dungeon encounters
  • Are building a kobold warren, trap-filled mine, or dragon cult warband
  • Want a low-CR boss monster that players will actually remember
  • Enjoy painting intricate tribal armour and scale textures
  • Collect monster minis for display as well as gameplay

Encounter Hook:
The party has cleared three levels of the Ashvein Mine — or so they believe. Then the torches go out simultaneously, a grinding of stone fills the dark, and a gravelled voice echoes from somewhere ahead: "You sprung two. You missed nine. Would you like to try again?"
