Kender are a fictional race from the Dragonlance campaign setting in the Dungeons & Dragons universe. They are known for their small stature, typically resembling halflings, and possess a curious and adventurous nature. Kender are often characterized by their insatiable curiosity, leading them to explore and collect various items, sometimes without understanding their value or significance. One of the most notable traits of kender is their lack of fear, which often results in them getting into trouble. They are also known for their unique ability to "borrow" items from others, a practice they refer to as "picking up." This behavior is not seen as theft in their culture, but rather as a part of their adventurous spirit.
