Snobolds are arctic kobolds[1][2] found in Northrend. They are usually found acting as servants for the magnataur,[3][4] whom they follow for safety and mutual benefit during hunts.[5]
History
The snobolds of Magmoth in Borean Tundra killed Farseer Grimwalker's small force of grunts, after which he was dragged down into Magmoth by their shaman, Kaganishu, and ritually sacrificed. He created a fetish from Grimwalker's body, which anchors him to Magmoth, and uses it to learn all he knows of shamanism.[6] Kaganishu also captured the gnome Bonker Togglevolt, who came to Magmoth to parlay with the snobolds, but Kaganishu decided instead that he'd be fed to their leader, Magmothregar.[7] The snobolds were also stealing supplies from Fizzcrank Airstrip[3]
Also in the Boren Tundra, the Gammoth snobolds were guarding the plants of the Bloodspore Plains, the powder of which could be used to weaken their magnataur masters.[8][9]
In the Howling Fjord a group of snobolds seemingly independent of a magnataur master could be found in a mine in Gjalerhorn.
The snobolds that served the magnataur in the Dragonblight had been trashing the Dragon's Fall and 7th Legion Front camps while the soldiers were busy dealing with frost wyrm attacks.[10]
In the Storm Peaks, the snobold servants of the Garm herd were being sent to attack the recently founded goblin town of K3, but most of them were meeting their doom at Garm's Bane.[11] When the goblins moved into the Crystalweb Cavern, they noticed there were some snobolds when they arrived, though their mining operation seemed to have met some unfortunate happenings.[12] The survivors were found carrying Impure Saronite Ore on them.[13]

Notes
- Whereas kobolds have candles on their heads, snobolds have receptacles with bloodspore flowers inside.
[Magnataur Hunting Horn], which teaches how to summon Snobold Runt, has a small chance to drop from the Beasts of Northrend in Trial of the Crusader.
