Kobolds:
Kobold society, trade skill, and general life has a sort of patina of rushed incompetence about it. Their houses are barely hammered together wooden huts, their crops fail half the time, and they generally make a living by trading what they can make for what they cannot. They are innocent to the thought of large scale war, ignorant of tactics and other such concepts.
There's only really one thing Kobolds excel at naturally, and that, is trapmaking. Many kobolds never discover this talent, since most no longer are able to live in the caves that thier ancestors did, due to Dwarven expansion. But it's still a well-known fact that if you give a kobolkd a hammer, nails, wood, and a thin tunnel, they can make one person's life a horrible, horrible nightmare for all of ten seconds.
Kobold history is a badly kept and disjointed affair. It's agreed that they are somehow related distantly to dragons. Dragon lore mentions them once as the 'little folk who watch', alluding perhaps to their ancient duty of making traps for areas too small for Dragons to enter. Or they were warriors, watching over the dragon as he slept.
Either way, a kobold who discovers the secrets of his or her lineage and works to unlock thier potential would be a scary thing indeed, had they the initiative to do so.
