Kobold enemy line

The Kobold, Wargold, and Kobold King are enemies that are randomly battled throughout Golden Sun: The Lost Age and Golden Sun: Dark Dawn. These monsters, resembling humanoid, anthropomorphic fox/dog-like monsters fully equipped for battle, are palette swaps of each other that have differing levels of power and defense and are fought in different locations in the games. In Golden Sun there is another enemy named "Kobold"; see Hobgoblin enemy line for full details.

Kobold
A Kobold is an orange-furred level 10 variant in red equipment. In The Lost Age it is fought throughout the overworld portion of Osenia that is explorable as soon as you enter the continent via the Osenia Cliffs from the northwest. It is fought throughout Osenia's Yampi Desert as well.

The Kobold is the most balanced of the enemies fought in the overworld portion of western/central, but is quickly outclassed by the Emu in the desert.

Wargold
A Wargold is a light-blue-furred level 31 variant in dark purplish-blue equipment. In The Lost Age it one of the common monsters fought on land throughout the entire Great Western Sea portion of the world, as well as the overworld area of the Northern Reaches and in Shaman Village Cave.

In spite of its appearance, the Wargold is the fastest of the monsters that would be fought quite a lot on land throughout the Great Western Sea. This, put together with its rather powerful Doublestep, can make it rather noteworthy for particularly under-developed parties while in battle.
