Saurian Lizardfolk
Players Handbook
Saurian Lizardfolk
Saurian Lizardfolk are native to the Gigantiaia Jungle in Southern Midasfjall. They are more predatory in nature and aesthetic than their Geckonian cousins who live in the swamps of Erimia. These Lizardfolk have angular features with hardened scales that form hornlike protrusions along their head crests that then run down their backs to the tip of their tails. They have sharp claws on their hands and feet as well as sharp teeth which means that they never lack for a weapon to fight with. Their bodys grow to be more muscular than the Geckonian Lizardfolk and they have thick crocodilian tails that helps them to swim. What they lack in agility, they make up for in aggression and strength; these lizardfolk live for the hunt and they are masters of their craft.
