Wandered across kobald tag

I think kobald MAYBE needs a cleanup ... but doing too many things,
so posting this (hopefully) quick summary.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kobald
says "Kobald may refer to:

• Kobald (wrestler), American professional wrestler
• Christoph Kobald (born 1997), Austrian professional footballer

See also

• Kobold, sprite from Germanic folklore
• Cobalt, chemical element"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kobold_(Dungeons_%26_Dragons) : "generally depicted as small reptilian humanoids with long tails"

RE 3a and 3b: uploader Noxu presumably the artist since artist name noxavious on art:

3a) post #2846142 , also tagged with kobold (at e621). Uploader Noxu tagged with kobald. Couple of minutes another tagger tags with kobold.

3b) variant post #2847818 , uploader Noxu tagged with kobald, but this time also with dragon. (still taggged with both)

4 and 5) post #3422424 and post #3536130: posts at FA tagged with "kobald". Uploaded to e621 by artist Jerberjer .

6) post #3592573 : No source, and can't find one. No artist tag.
Uploaded by DrippingCoom with description "...horny stickfigure impregnating a kobald...". DrippingCoom later blanked the description. (nothing in the image looks like a stick_figure to me)
Uploaded with tags dragon, kino, zealot (for some reason), and other tags. (so artist maybe named Kino? Zealot?

I appreciate the effort you put in your forum posts, but they are always a little intimidating for me, by the sheer mass. I think these posts are very safe to be changed to kobold. This is very likely just a typo.

Cobalt as an element is not in use so far. If this is created at some point it should get the *_(element) or *_(chemical_element) suffix, or something.

In general, the Germanic folk lore kobold and the DnD kobold could be split into two separate tags. This came up once before in another thread

I swear to a god of your choice... I searched for cobalt_(element) before posting this... _{^{(I guess I had a typo then)}}
