Hi there! Sorry for the late reply. Itchio used to notify me about new posts here, but somehow it stopped and I fell out of the habit of checking here.
Anyway, to answer your questions:
The kobolds have the same message yes - it was part of an easter hunt event. You can still try to find them all for fun, but there won't be a reward anymore.
The werewolf fight is a bit too hard, noted, I will tone it down some.
The "pouncing contest" room is going to make a comeback, but I want to put it into a different area with the redesigned levels.
