Kobolds were said to be descendants of Dragons. Though they lacked the overwhelming power of their ancestors, they barely made up for that with their smaller stature and mobility. They were covered in tough scales and had great vision, capable of helping them see in the dark better than humans. Because of this(and also their inferiority complex), they tend to live in dark areas like caves, where they can use their vision advantage to defeat preys. With that, it isn't much of a surprise as to why one of them was found at the 4th level. The only problem was whether there was a horde there.
The combination of their strong defence, sleek movements and high strength made them dangerous monsters. Even for a level 10 player to face a level 8 Wild Kobold, he/she had to be cautious.
