The Advanced Dungeons and Dragons supplement, Oriental Adventures, gave Dungeon Masters the tools for creating an Eastern themed medieval fantasy world for their Players to explore. This book introduced several
new races and classes, which includes the Korobokuru; an Eastern variation of
the Dwarf. The Korobokuru (also spelled as
Koropokuru or Koropokguru) are based on a mythical race of humanoids from Ainu folklore.
Samurai Dwarves (Forlorn Hope Games)
If you are looking to bring some
Korobokuru to the tabletop, Forlorn Hope Games produces a line of Samurai Dwarf
miniatures. Forlorn Hope sells their merchandise
through their eBay store: a set of 2 Korobokuru costs £7 (around $12.50
Canadian) and a set of 3
costs £9.50 (around $17
Canadian).
Ninja Goblins, also produced by Forlorn Hope Games
If you are a Dungeon Crawl Classics
player and are interested in playing the Koroboburu and other humanoids (Tengu
and Kitsuni) from Japanese mythology, please check out my DCC Eastern Adventures
