Trivia

General idea for Koblin line.

• The Koblin line was one of the last lines to get finalized designs, as there were many struggles during development.
• The method of its split evolution was considered impossible to implement for a time, but eventually a way was discovered.
• Many designs tried to include a burning candle to reference its traditional folklore.
• When in the running for confirmation, the design that eventually won was often referred to as "Mr. Puggles".

Design origin

Early concept art for Koberus.

Koblin is based on the kobold, a mythic, sprite-like creature that takes on many forms such as candles and animals.

Name origin

Koberus's name is a combination of kobold and Cerberus, the dog guardian of the Greek underworld.
