Whoops bad on me, I missed this comment first time around, got distracted, I guess:
So when you all meet some kobolds I guess you'll want to play those too?
Way back in the days of the Monster Manual being the only bound book ... the drawing of kobolds looked like if you crossed a puppy and a human. They were "evil" but adorable .... so sure, I'd play one. Probably go for high charisma and fleece the upper classes.
