As a certified kobold enthusiast, I don’t like the hideous creature they chose as their logo. I like cute kobolds more than… whatever that is.

So many cute kobolds out there.
Blame Gary Gygax for coming up with the strange concept that kobolds are these weird reptilian creatures. I like "traditional" kobolds (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kobold) more. The cutest is probably this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meister_Eder_und_sein_Pumuckl#... - mind you, I wouldn't trust him to handle my UI either, but at least I wouldn't have to worry that he wants to chew my face off...
Even so we got some nice furry kobolds out of japan and the furry/scalie community has done some things with the cold blooded kobolds...
Years of cobalt mining mutated them into tiny, terrifying monsters.
I think that kobold is cute!
