Gaknulak

A demi-god of the kobolds, Gaknulak, is lawful evil aligned. He is also known as the Trapmaster. His favoured weapon is the hand axe.

Strong defences are necessary to ensure the continued survival of kobolds as a race. Clever traps and ambushes are a vital part of these defenses, as they play to the strengths of the kobolds and to the weaknesses of other races and monsters. He advises his followers to never fight in the open when one can lure opponents into traps and/or ambushes. Others may call this cowardly, but because other races are large and strong while the kobolds are small and weak, it is the only way to even the odds or even give his people a fighting chance.

Gaknulak is a small, dark kobold with a mane of white hair, a cloak with bulging pockets, and a hand axe. He is highly intelligent and carries a magical cauldron from which he pulls tools, unpredictable minor allies, and diverse resources for fooling others. He is wiser and more pragmatic than Kurtulmak, his master.

Gaknulak lives in the realm of Aknuthrak on Khalas, the first layer of the Plane of Bleak Eternity of Gehenna.

Gaknulak is allied with Dakarnok and his superior is Kurtulmak; together they form the heart of the Kobold Pantheon. His enemy is Garl Glittergold and his entire Gnomish Pantheon.

Gaknulak holy symbol is a cauldron with whirling ellipses.
