Kobold
The Kobold is an enemy that self-destructs in attempt to inflict high damage to defenses, a hero or an Eternia Crystal.
It is strapped with a stick of dynamite which it ignites before running up to its target. The Kobold will then explode if its health drops to zero, when it makes physical contact with a hero, defense or crystal, or after a certain amount of time has passed since ignition.
The kobold flails it's arms and opens its mouth fully when the fuse on it's back is lit.
In Rift Mode, Rifted Kobolds have a larger explosion radius. Rifted Ogres throw a Kobold as their first projectile.
¶
Elemental Alignment
If a Kobold has an Elemental Alignment she hits twice with each attack 1 hit physical the second hit his element effectivly doubling her damage output.
When Kobold spawn with an Elemental alignment, towers of the same element become unable to target or damage them. If a player attacks these Kobold with a weapon of the same element, they will only receive 25% damage. Furthermore, effects with the same elemental nature no longer apply to them.
However, the elemental resistance of these Kobold can be temporarily or permanently removed using the Strength Drain Aura or the Chance to Nullify passive for a duration of up to 10 seconds.
Rifted enemies have -100% fusion armor, making them vulnerable to fusion damage. Additionally, once enemies become rifted, they can't gain the resistance of another element.

Notes
Killing the kobold when the fuse is lit will cause the kobold to explode, but not cause any damage so long as the player/defenses kill the kobold from a distance.
The kobold has a distinct scream when lit, it can help you determine if a kobold is lit in a crowd.
Poison Traps cannot stun ignited Kobolds.
Electric Shock Rune cannot stun ignited Kobolds.
