So I can't find where this happened exactly, but one Facebook poster mentioned that his wife called Gabe's critters "Barklings" and I like that.

Here's my plan: Both traditional Kobolds and Barklings will appear with separate monster entries. Both types are well aware that other humanoids think they are related, and it's a touchy subject; either group will become angry, if not outright enraged, if someone suggests a relationship. Whether there actually is such a relationship or not will not be given as canon; this is up to the individual GM.

Statistically, Barklings will be very similar to Kobolds. I'll remove the bite attack I gave the Kobolds but retain it for Barklings, and Kobolds will have better Darkvision (60' vs. 30' I think) but Barklings will have a superior sense of smell.

And as usual, the rules will not dictate who is ally and who is enemy. This is also up to the GM.

This is an awesome compromise. I think the dog-faced kobolds are wonderful in a way, but maybe others and myself felt they were not quite what we thought of as Kobolds. I'm glad they will still feature as an NPC encounter. One thought regarding Barklings: what should we do about Caneins?

Caneins are probably unrelated also...

Core r 107 page 99: "Kobolds are small, dog-faced reptilian humanoids."

FG V1 page 16: "Caneins are a race of dog-like humanoids..."

So, Kobolds and perhaps Barklings need to be part reptilian, and Caneins will be pure dog-humans?

How dare you accuse Barklings of being reptilian!

[Bows to the Barklings with apology]

I had no idea that Barklings and Caneines were a different breed.

Barklings are Caneins who still pee on the rug.
