Cunning Action.

On each of its turns, the king kobold can use a bonus action to take the Dash, Disengage, or Hide action.
Evasion.

If the king kobold is subjected to an effect that allows it to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, the king instead takes no damage if it succeeds on the saving throw, and only half damage if it fails.
Pack Tactics.

The king has advantage on attack rolls against a creature if at least one of the king’s allies is within 5 feet of the creature and the ally isn’t incapacitated.
Sneak Attack (1/Turn).

The king kobold deals an extra 14 (4d6) damage when it hits a target with a weapon attack and has advantage on the attack roll, or when the target is within 5 feet of an ally of the king that isn’t incapacitated and the king doesn’t have disadvantage on the attack roll.
Sunlight Sensitivity.

While in sunlight, the king has disadvantage on attack rolls and on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.

Cantrips (at will): fire bolt, mage hand, minor illusion, poison spray
1st level (4 slots): alarm, grease, mage armor
