Kender are virtually immune to fear. Even dragonfear has little to no effect on a Kender. Rather than running from an encounter that would scare normal humanoids, a kender will approach it as a new experience. ("I've never been eaten by a dragon before.")

Following the Second Cataclysm, and the rise of Malystryx, some kender have become vulnerable to fear. They are quietly pitied by other kender.
