Kobold enemy line

Kobold as they appear in Dark Dawn.

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.

In Golden Sun: The Lost Age

Kobold

A Kobold (コボルド) 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.

A Kobold is especially likely to be affected by Attack-lowering effects. Its statistics are as follows:

Name	HP	PP	Attack	Defense	Agility	Luck
Kobold	77	0	80	17	47	7
Elemental Resistances and Levels			Exp	Coins	Item Dropped	Drop Rate
100 (Lv 3)   72 (Lv 2)   72 (Lv 2)   48 (Lv 2)			40	45	Oil Drop	1/16

A Kobold uses the following battle commands with low intelligence:

Command	Chance to use	Elem. Stats used with *	Description
Attack	6/8 (75%)	--	Standard physical attack.
Defend	2/8 (25%)	--	Standard Defend command which halves all damage the user takes during this turn.

Wargold

A Wargold (ドッグウォリアー Dog Warrior) 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.

A Wargold is especially likely to be affected by Attack-lowering effects. Its statistics are as follows:

Name	HP	PP	Attack	Defense	Agility	Luck
Wargold	202	0	303	78	181	9
Elemental Resistances and Levels			Exp	Coins	Item Dropped	Drop Rate
100 (Lv 3)   72 (Lv 2)   72 (Lv 2)   48 (Lv 2)			321	226	Oil Drop	1/16

A Wargold uses the following battle commands with low intelligence:

Command	Chance to use	Elem. Stats used with *	Description
Attack	5/8 (62.5%)	--	Standard physical attack.
Doublestep	2/8 (25%)	--	Enemy ability where the user bolts forward and deals a strong blow indicated by a blue flash. Deals a standard physical attack with the end result multiplied by 1.8.
Defend	1/8 (12.5%)	--	Standard Defend command which halves all damage the user takes during this turn.

Kobold King

The Kobold King (キングコボルド King Kobold) exists as a named but unused variant in the code in The Lost Age, where none of its statistics and abilities are coded beyond weak placeholder abilities. Had it been used, it would have appeared as a violet-furred variant in red equipment. The Kobold King made its first official debut in Dark Dawn.
