They're very unique! They feel like artist pieces, but they're like and were sold as little plastic toys. These are not my photos, but these are pictures of the other versions I've seen on wild web and I hope to find them and any others:

But even if it's one of them newfangled thicc dragon kobold; they still have ears even if it's just a hole. :>

For me, it's the childhood experience of 'I'd be cool if I was a wolf or something.'

They always had ears! Although I love me some animal-like kobolds (more goblin the better), people forget they were based on household spirits like gnomes and such like.
