Naming a kobold monk
A kobold monk carries kobold naming tradition into the monk's calling. Kobold names are quick, high and clipped — the kind of sound you can yip down a tunnel in the middle of an ambush. Many kobolds think of themselves as servants or distant kin of dragons, so a name that borrows a draconic syllable such as Drak- or Zar- is worn with real pride. A monk — a student of body, breath, and inner balance — tends toward spare, contemplative names, sometimes a single syllable or a virtue. Lean into that flavour when you pick from the names above, and pair the result with a surname or epithet that fits the class.
