The Story of Fluke, the dragon who thinks he is a kobold. Fluke was the worst kobold who ever lived. He was a clumsy, awkward, malformed, 50-ton, thick-scaled, razor-clawed, creature of unimaginable destruction. He caved in the entire east copper mine with a swing of his tail, and he nearly crushed the hatchery caretaker Tenderclaw beneath his massive feet. He was truly the worst.   Now, I know what you're thinking. That... sounds like I'm talking about a dragon. But no. Fluke was confident he was a simple kobold. He knew it. Everyone in the tribe knew it.   Hatched from an egg? Check. Raised by kobolds? Check. Lives underground in caves? Check. Clearly, a kobold.   Dragons were royalty.  Powerful, majestic, titanic beasts of pure elemental power. And Fluke certainly wasn't any of that. After all, no all-powerful dragon would toil away in the mines like he did… right? But when the humans attacked one day, and he saw his friend struck down, Fluke began to learn there might be parts of himself he’s… overlooked.   Please, have a seat, and let me tell you about Fluke. The Worst Kobold.   A non-zero chance to be an upcoming 3d animated movie! What to expect: Native protagonist (No LitRPG or Isekai, though I'm a big fan of the genres!) A cozy comedy centered around a dragon convinced he's a kobold. No harem! Main character has enough trouble asking out one kobold. 48% more kobolds than other Royal Road stories Art done by: Flar
