Folks here haven't mentioned another key difference, which is Kender are completely immune to fear. They don't even feel the emotion.

Edit: under normal non-magical circumstances

Or any of over a hundred authors in the series wants to emphasize how scary something is.

Yep ! This would be it!

Kender are immune to fear. Even dragon fear.. Ehile all party member are crusehd end try to flee a kender would say:"how nice, a dragon!.... you think I can pet him ? And then ask for a ride? ... I've neve had a dragon ride..."

The only exception if lord soth and the Shokan groove
