Kobold Slinger (Basic Lore)

Kobold Slinger (CR 1)
Lawful Evil - Small - Humanoid (Kobold)
Kobolds revere dragons and tend to dwell in and around places where dragons are known to lair. They skulk in the darkness, hiding from stronger foes and swarming to overwhelm weaker ones. Kobolds are cowardly and usually flee once bloodied unless a strong leader is present. Kobolds like to set traps and ambushes. If they can't get their enemies to walk into a trap, they try to sneak up as close as they can and then attack in a sudden rush. Kobold slingers are responsible for laying down the bulk of the damage in ambushes. As such, they will hang back and use the slings for as long as possible while other, more melee-capable allies occupy their foes.
