Ya know I gotta wonder where the split happened. In pretty much all D&D info you find past 3e Kobolds are all draconic lizard people in the west, while in Japanese media I've seen it's almost exlusively canine, be it monster girls (the more popular it seems) or even just minion monsters like in How to Build A Dungeon where when Kobolds are mentioned it shows a race of canine creatures looking like miniature werewolves. I've been looking at this for some time since I love fantasy stuff and I've yet to find a solid answer for why the split is so big between the two cultures.
