>the dog-'bold was a Japanism before AD&D got started
Wrong. While there may have been some dog youkai Japanese myth to help guide the imagery, the term Kobold was not introduced into Japan until the localization of Wizardry in 1983.
>while the association with dragons goes back to literally every creation myth they have ever been given
Correct only due to rectonning a void of lore. Kurtulmak being one of Tiamat's brood was invented for 3E. Before then he had no backstory at all, let alone a concrete one.
The transformation of the strange mutant mine things into small lizardfolk was in fact shitting the bed.
>And even then the profile is similar enough between the 3e Monster Manual and the AD&D 2e Monstrous Manual that if you aren't paying close attention to the details it's plausible to miss there being a re-design at all.
You have to pay close attention to see the copied terminology, not the other way around. Don't double down on this. Just take your L and move on.
