A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Tales about Kobolds imply the existence of Monobolds (feddit.de)

And I am really scared about those creatures. Kobolds are most often seen alone and presumably searching for their matching partner to unleash their full power in cooperating. But Monobolds probably have their full potential even when working alone. so be aware of some creature looking like a single Kobold!

Let's ask the source of all earthly wisdom:

Legends tell of three major types of kobolds. Most commonly, the creatures are household spirits of ambivalent nature; while they sometimes perform domestic chores, they play malicious tricks if insulted or neglected. Famous kobolds of this type include King Goldemar, Heinzelmann, and Hödekin. In some regions, kobolds are known by local names, such as the Galgenmännlein of southern Germany and the Heinzelmännchen of Cologne. Another type of kobold haunts underground places, such as mines. A third kind of kobold, the Klabautermann, lives aboard ships and helps sailors.

There's those Warcraft rat-things, there's early D&D dog-like creatures, there's later-D&D small reptilian humanoids, there's Germanic folklore sprites, there's JRPG dog-creatures, there's Pathfinder 2's ugly, fat-headed lizards... There's plenty of options, pick your favorite!
