Description

Hailing from the drenched wetlands of northern Eglain, the appearance of Lizardfolk could only be described as severe, lumbering, and formidable. They stand at 6-8 feet tall are are even longer when their muscular reptilian tails are taken into account. They are covered entirely in protective scales and bear striking, toothy maws. Lizardfolk have a deceptively slow gait that becomes terrifying speed when they enter water.

Much like Kobolds, sexual dimorphism is significantly less pronounced in Lizardfolk than their mammalian counterparts. Females forgo breasts for natural armor and feature robust musculature comparable to that of males. It is very difficult for outsiders to distinguish male from female lizardfolk by their faces alone.

Subraces

Crocodilian : An offshoot of Lizardfolk that hunts and thrives in the coastal regions of Eglain.

Culture

Lizardfolk are a race of proud hunters. Since their diet consists almost entirely of wild game, infants learn the taste of meat from day one.

Society

Lizardfolk live in scattered tribal units. Oftentimes these tribes will go to war with each other to decide ownership of land and resources. However, war between Lizardfolk takes a much different form than most other cultures. Their's is a war won by posturing, showmanship, and pitched one-on-one combat. While not unheard of, death is the exception, rather than the rule when two tribes take arms. That being said, not all tribes are considered equal and generally take two forms.
