	Unlike most other racial deities, Kurtulmak did not create the kobold race. He was, however, the first kobold created; he was made by the green dragon Caesinsjach after [[Io]] gave the true dragons the ability to create life. He was larger than all the other kobolds that were made after him, so the dragon commanded the others using him as her mouthpiece, essentially making him their de facto leader.

	With Greyhawk's descent into ignominy in 3rd edition, Kurtulmak's lore has changed ~~over the years~~. The most recent lore probably comes from [[Dragon Magazine]] #332, where he was described in the Ecology of the Kobold. In essence, Kurtulmak is a sort of unwanted bastard son of [[Tiamat]]; when the draconic goddess laid her first clutch of divine-touched eggs, a large band of thieves raided her lair. Though she fought furiously, several of her eggs and a signficant amount of treasure was stolen before the injured deity collapsed her lair in on itself, crushing all the thieves. Weakened but needing to protect and restore her brood, she caused one egg to hatch early, resulting in Kurtulmak, a huge kobold with a powerful stinger for a tail. Kurtulmak fixed up Tiamat's lair, riddling it with the deadliest traps he could invent, and then started re-opening the passageways out of the lair. During his excavations, he dug up eggs stolen from Tiamat, which had cooled too greatly to have a hope of hatching. So he used his powers to make them hatch into the first kobolds. At his side, they learned the arts of digging, mining, trapmaking and cunning, and eventually they dug their way to the material plane, where they have proliferated ever since.
