They used to be moderately common in the before times, like 2.5 inch IDE HDD times.

For added horror those often where Y cables, too.

Yeah, very funny giving it such a cutesy name so you drop your guard but once you learn what it is actually called you won't be laughing anymore:

Japanese long-tailed bushtit

This all could have been avoided with a Discworld-style Thieves Guild

Kobolds are originally just the "small folk" of German mythology with all of them being gnome-like but with varying degrees of hospitality. That's why you get your mine Kobolds, your Heinzelmännchen and your Klabautermann.

Bonus fact: Dog like Kobolds in DnD derived media are not exclusive to Japan, in the Everquest lore they are also dog like (and a bit hyena like, whereas gnolls here are fully canine)

To be fair, I wouldn't want to have a kid handle a lightsaber unsupervised. One wrong button push and they are a goner.

On the flip side you can save a lot of money when remodelling your house so it seems worth it.

Excluding ruins, 11XX. The exact dates aren't really known
