About kobold names
Kobolds are the small, scrappy, dragon-worshipping reptilians of Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder, and their names sound the way they behave: quick, sharp and a little chaotic. Official 5e examples like Arix, Eks, Galax, Kashak, Meepo, Molo, Ohsoss, Sik, Sniv, Taklak and Urak show the pattern. Names are one or two syllables, packed with k, x, z, s and t sounds, and often end abruptly. Kobolds have no gender-specific names in most settings, and the same name can be shared by a dozen members of a warren without anyone minding.
Because kobolds speak Draconic, longer names borrow dragon-like flourishes (Draxil, Zorvak, Kraxos), while everyday nicknames describe a job or a quirk (Trapmaster, Egg-Warden, Snaggletooth, Quickfoot). Famous kobolds such as Meepo from The Sunless Citadel and Deekin Scalesinger from Neverwinter Nights prove that a short, slightly silly name is perfectly canon. Warrens and tribes name themselves after their dragon patron, their tunnels or their trade: Sunscale Clan, Deepfang Warren, Servants of Ashardalon.
The list above gives you three layers: personal names, personal names with earned titles, and tribe or warren names, so a DM can name a whole nest of kobolds and a player can pick a memorable name for a kobold sorcerer or artificer.
Tips for choosing a name
- Keep player-character kobold names to one or two syllables so they sound right shouted in Draconic; save longer forms like Zorvak or Skarrix for sorcerers and chieftains who want to sound draconic.
- Add a job-title or quirk (Trapmaster, Egg-Warden, One-Wing) for NPC kobolds; it tells the party who to fear and who to bribe without extra description.
- For a warren, pick a name that references the dragon it serves or the terrain it dug into (Redscale Tribe, Gloomdelve Tribe) so the location and the kobolds share a theme.
- Kobolds are usually written as ungendered, so feel free to use any name for any character; softer endings like -a or -i (Ossa, Nizzi) simply read as gentler personalities.
- Doubling a syllable (Yipyak, Vikvik, Zizzik) is an easy way to make a name sound like a real kobold's chatter.
Frequently asked questions
What do kobold names sound like in D&D?
Short and sharp, with lots of k, x, z and s: the 5e Monster Manual and Volo's Guide list examples like Arix, Eks, Galax, Kashak, Meepo, Molo, Sik, Sniv, Taklak and Urak. Most are one or two syllables and gender-neutral.
Do kobolds have surnames or clan names?
Kobolds do not use family surnames; instead they identify by their tribe or warren (Sunscale Clan, Deepfang Warren) and by earned titles such as Trapmaster or Dragon-Speaker that describe their role.
Who are some famous kobolds I can use for inspiration?
Meepo, the dragon-keeper from The Sunless Citadel; Deekin Scalesinger, the bard from Neverwinter Nights; Yusdrayl, a kobold sorcerer chief; and Kurtulmak, the kobold god of war and mining, all show the mix of comic and cunning that defines the race.
Can I use these kobold names in my own campaign or book?
Yes. The original names, titles and warren names here are free to use in home games, published adventures and fiction. Names like Meepo and Kurtulmak belong to Wizards of the Coast's settings, so treat those as reference.
