Reptiloids
Basic Information
Genetics and Reproduction
Eggs are produced over time in the female body. Matured and fertalized in a few weeks and then places in nests for inculcation. The eggs then hatch in weeks to a few months.
The babies look exactly like their parents with slightly larger craniums. This is different from mamalian sentients whose offspring have a distinct appearance as they grow. So that besides size there are no clear differences indicating age. At this age they run on instict gathering and eating food.
Children begin to develop greater intelligence and are considered fully grown at the age of 12. Reptiloids are either of the short lived variety (30 years or so) or the longer lived variety (150 years to 200). Not many varieties are average from a human perspective.
Typically females are larger than males and without visible genetailia or mammary glands. Males are shorter and typically more dexterous. They also have their genetalia as retractable and invisible most of the time.
Dietary Needs and Habits
Meat and insects are popular as are some fruits and vegetables. Reptiloids are all lactose interllerant and some get significantly ill when ingesting it, this includes cheeses. Blue cheeses and other stinky cheeses are poisonous to most reptiloids. This is also true for some varieties when it comes to chocolate and citrus. In contrast most raw meat diseases have no effect of the reptiloid system.
Behaviour
Common Phobias 1d10
- Omphalophobia - Fear of belly buttons (they don't have them)
- Pedophobia - Fear of babies (they don't have babies with distinct characteristics)
- Ombrophobia - Fear of rain
- Eisoptrophobia - Fear of looking in mirrors (it likely has issues with some reptiloid eyes being multi-facited or hermispherical in vision)
- Pteronophobia - Fear of being tickled by feathers
- Philemaphobia - Fear of kissing (they don't generally kiss, it doesn't have the same stimulation)
- Zoophobia - Fear of animals (mammals are weird)
- Heterophobia - Fear of the opposite sex
- Demonophobia - Fear of demons/fiends
- Melanophobia - Fear of the color black

- Scopophilia - Love of attention
- Gymnophilia - Love of nudity
- Dishabiliophilia - Love of undressing in front of someone

Additional Information
Social Structure
Children are often raised collectively, and find clutch mates a better description than siblings. This makes reptiloids at once more social than most sentients but also they don't require breastfeeding in youth and have no oral fixation (aka kissing), making them appear as universally made up of loners.
As females can retain male gamedes for several years after deposit, so there is more social segregation and marriages are time limited instead of perpetual. Many gender roles in mamallian sentients are reversed in the reptiloid structure. The exception being egg laying and fertilization, which takes less time in their communities.
