Standing guard at the entrance to the kobit tunnels is a massive egre, a fearsome bird beast, muscles rippling and bulging beneath its beautiful white plumage. It turns its head and regards you with one jet black eye and then the other, snapping its sharp beak in the air as it tosses its head back and forth.
It looks you up and down, and its gaze rests on your freshly polished shoes. It huffs and grunts, "Your shoes look clean. You can enter." And it steps aside.
The smallest of you can stand upright in the kobit tunnels. The largest of you have to crawl.
Kobits are vaguely mammalian, slightly reptilian bipedal creatures. They are scaly and furry, and live in burrows and tunnels deep in the earth. They have huge eyes, and long fine whiskers at the end of their snout, all of which help them find their way around in the dark. They also have long, thick, course, drooping mustaches which are mostly decorative. The overall effect is that they look like tiny, monstrous, perpetually startled cowboy extras from the set of some old spaghetti western movie.
