Kobold (Final Fantasy)

Overview

Final Fantasy XIV’s Kobolds inhabit tunnels under O’Ghomoro in northern Vylbrand. Square Enix characterizes them as molelike and associates their culture with alchemy and metallurgy. Ores are understood as gifts of Titan, linking underground materials and craft to a religious relationship.

Early A Realm Reborn publicity describes a peace with Limsa Lominsa strained by competition over minerals. Patch 2.2’s official preview also presents the 789th Order as a friendly settlement available for quests. These references distinguish conflict with particular groups from a claim that the entire people is inevitably hostile.

This identity is specific to Final Fantasy XIV and is not merged with the unrelated Dungeons & Dragons reptilian Kobold or the historical household spirit. The inspected material supplies no creator statement establishing direct influence. The miner portrait is an unofficial interpretation; mask, tools, costume and exact tunnel layout are imagined.
