Lizardfolk

“From a swamp’s murky depths to sunlit riverbanks, beware the eyes that glide along the waterline. They belong to Lizardfolk, an ancient people of cunning and might.”

While frequently misjudged as bestial, Lizardfolk are in fact an ancient race of humanoids rooted in survivalism and adaptability—the essence of primal warriors and cunning hunters.

Scales and Survival. Lizardfolk excel in the arts of camouflage and ambush, their scales offering both protection and concealment. Often dwelling in close-knit tribes, they hunt with tactical precision, leaving little trace but the occasional snapped twig or displaced stone.

Natural Mystics. Steeped in shamanistic traditions, some Lizardfolk are attuned to the energies of the earth and water. Serving as conduits for their tribe’s spiritual well-being, their wisefolk weave spells of protection and divination.

Warrior Codes. Bound by a set of ancestral teachings, Lizardfolk are disciplined in combat. They view battle as a sacred rite, and their combat styles often reflect this: methodical, efficient, and utterly relentless.

Pragmatic to a Fault. Lizardfolk tend to evaluate situations with dispassionate logic, a trait that can make them seem cold or aloof. They rarely hold grudges but are equally unlikely to form deep emotional bonds, viewing allies primarily through the lens of utility.
