Draconic Roar. As a bonus action, you let out a draconic roar at your enemies within 10 feet of you. Until the end of your next turn, you and your allies have advantage on attack rolls against any of those enemies who could hear the roar. You can use this trait a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
I was thinking of how cool it might be to have a Shield with the face of a Kobald on it. Then, the owner of the shield could have a specific action or trigger that, when they trigger it, the shield has a Magic Mouth that releases the Draconic Roar (which of course looks like the Kobald image on the Shield is doing the Roar).
The magic mouth might make a roar loud enough, but it won't have the extra umph that comes from what the Draconic Roar ability might provide behind it. Generally Magic Mouth can't do things other than make the required sound.
Talk with your DM, he or she might let you mimic the Magic Mouth roaring while you actually do so from behind your shield, especially if for you it's about cool factor!

This isn't possible with the magic mouth spell, but it would make for a neat homebrew magic item

Rules as Written, I seriously doubt it would work. The spell can only deliver a message of "25 words or less" (Magic Mouth spell description), which suggests it can't deliver a message in any form other than words.
As a dungeon master, I would back up the RAW here. Say you enchant the fighter's sword so that the party has Advantage on attack rolls against all creatures within 10ft of the fighter EVERY SINGLE ROUND. Once you have a bit of gold on your hands, you can repeat this on literally everything so that your party is pretty much guaranteed to have Advantage against melee enemies all the time. This is the sort of gamebreaking combo that makes us DMs want to quit. Therefore, even if you could do this, you shouldn't.

Thank you,

Are you referring to Draconic Cry from the new version of Kobold? (https://www.dndbeyond.com/races/1026395-kobold).
Oh, maybe you are referring to the UA version of Kobold?
