kobold

“He's a kobold...you know, invisible. Gets very upset when people assume he's not there. So, you can't.”

In a typical game, online or off, the game master will present the players with a situation — an encounter with a kobold, say.

I’d spent the next few hours slaying a small band of kobolds, waiting for them to respawn, and then slaying them again, over and over.

“In Germany, kobolds are house sprites that brewed in the cellar at night,” he said recently.

That's just not at all a chill thing to shout across the room while drunkenly playing cards / watching football / looting a horde of kobolds in your weekly D&D session.
