- Main article: Kobold
Kobolds (コボルト, Koboruto) appear as an enemy in the first Suikoden.
These affected Kobolds are not very strong, although the mage may cause some trouble with its wide-range attacks. Both the bow and sword-wielding Kobolds have a weakness to fire, but remember than the mage is in fact immune to it and resists all other elements save for the Soul Eater and Resurrection Rune.
Etymology
The Japanese Genso Suikoden I&II guide calls the magic-wielding Kobolds Kobold Mage (コボルトメイジ, Koboruto Meiji), although the term is not used in the games in either English or Japanese.
