美服《龙与地下城》官方揭示狗头人（ kobolds）演变进程 窥视游戏未来趋势

今天, 我想首先谈论狗头人。前阵子,  詹姆斯做了一篇关于“鳞状的事情”的文章, 涉及到了狗头人，今天我想谈谈的小鬼视觉方面。

让我们谈谈神话中的狗头人。

现实世界：狗头人(或cobold)是一个来自日耳曼神话的精灵。日耳曼故事中, 小鬼通常是无形的, 但它可以化形成实体，比如火, 人类或蜡烛。他们常常描绘成孩子大小的人形, 他们有三个品种：房子,地下和水中。所以,正如你所看到的, 除了常见的拼写, 就没什么东西将   现实世界的神话和D&D神话联系起来。

《龙与地下城》：我将重点介绍一些视觉的想法。

根据AD&D怪物手册,狗头人的兽皮从很暗的生锈般棕色到生锈的黑色。他们没有头发。 眼睛是红色的, 成角状, 眼珠在眼眶内乱转。他们偏爱红色或橙色的装束。

然后第二版我们添加了更多的细节。他们三英尺高。 有一条兔子般的短尾巴，他们闻起来像潮湿狗和积水。角很小, 却也不是太小。穿着破破烂烂的衣服，他们的语言听起来像狂吠的小狗, 他们还有隐藏的鳞片。其外形从狗到蜥蜴/到现在看起来更像兔子。

在第三版中, 参考了不可弯曲的兔子的想法被压下去，它看起来又像是蜥蜴了。游戏工作室项目，欧服，美服，台服，韩服，日服，国服，东南亚服等所有游戏收货商家信息请关注专业玩家网。 
我们看到, 第四版没有给我们提供任何下一份 《怪物

图鉴》的线索，但还是会有艺术 更新。

原文

And today, I'd like to start off by talking about kobolds. A while back, James did an article on "scaly things" that touched on the kobold, but today I'd like to talk about the kobold from the visual side of things.

Let's talk about the kobold in mythology.

Real World: The kobold (or cobold) is a sprite that came from Germanic mythology. In the Germanic stories, the kobold is often invisible, but it can materialize in the form of an animal, fire, human being, or a candle. They are often depicted as humanoids the size of a child, and they come in three varieties: house, underground, and water. So, as you can see, aside from the common spelling, there is little else that links real-world mythology and D&D mythology.

Dungeons & Dragons: I'll focus on some visual thoughts.
According to the AD&D Monster Manual, the hides of kobolds run from very dark rusty brown to a rusty black. They have no hair. Their eyes are reddish and they have very small horns that run the range of tan to white. They favor red or orange garb.
Then 2nd Edition gave us a few more details. They are described as being three feet tall. They have a ratlike nonprehensile tail. They smell of damp dogs and stagnant water. The horns are small instead of very small. The garb is raggedy, their language sounds like small yapping dogs, and their hide is scaly. The image goes from being a dog/lizard/gargoyle look to being a more ratlike look.
In 3rd Edition, the "ratlike" reference to a nonprehensile tail is dropped, and it changes from a ratlike look to a lizard/mini-dragon look.
We see that 4th Edition doesn't give any visual clues in the text of the Monster Manual, but the art has an update.
