Geckonian Lizardfolk

Geckonian Lizardfolk

Geckonian Lizardfolk originate from the jungles of Erimia. These enigmatic lizardfolk live high up in the jungle's canopy where they like to scavenge for nature's bounties among the branches as well as play the odd prank on the creatures moving through the underbrush below. While they tend to keep to themselves, Geckonian Lizardfolk are whimsical, carefree creatures by nature and tend to value a peaceful life surrounded by their family members and friends. When threatened, Geckonian Lizardfolk can change the colour of their scales to better blend in with their surroundings and they use this incredible ability to avoid confrantation; most often with those they have recently pulled a prank on. Geckonian Lizardfolk have large colourful head frills, smooth scales, tall willowy bodies with long agile tails, and lack the horns and claws that their Saurian cousins have. Instead, their fingers have lots of little ridges that allow them stick climb almost any surface with ease. Geckonian social structure is matriarchal in nature which means that Geckonian Clutches are lead by a female Shaman while the male Cheiftain takes on a lesser role. Geckonian Shamans have strong bonds with nature and wield powerful natural magic to the defense of their Clutches.

Geckonian Lizardfolk are unnaturally slim creatures which stand taller than most humanoids. Their smooth scales come in a variety of vibrant colourful hues with complex patterns of a secondary colour and they can even change the colour of their scales at will. The patterns always stay the same however and this is one way other species can learn to tell Geckonian Lizardfolk apart from each other. Their reptilian eyes come in shades of yellow and both sexes have large frilly headcrests that are the most eyecatching parts of their body. Geckonian Lizardfolk have long tails that they use to help them when climbing through the jungle canopies although they are not strong enough to swing on or to manipulate objects.
