It pleases me on a deep level that 'bold is an accepted short form of Kobold. :D

@mawr I keep wanting to make some kind of pun on kobold/cobalt but I can't think of any.

@Felthry A kobold/cobalt hybrid could be a baltobold

Either that or some thicc line art of Balto the husky

@mawr @Felthry Even better: I used to go by Cobalt as a name, and knew about the whole connection to kobolds. And was a dragon, which kobolds tend to have interesting relationships with.

The dragon self is still around. So when I figured out my toy self was a kobold, it made extra sense. :-)

@Felthry @mawr Also, speaking /as/ a kobold/Cobalt hybrid, I'd have to say the term should be 'kobolt'.

@mawr @Felthry And like... you do know those two words are directly linked, which is why they sound similar? Kobold /is/ the origin of 'cobalt'.

@emanate @mawr Yeah, I know! It's interesting that cobalt and nickel both got their names from mischievous spirits.
