Lizardfolk

How interesting it is that lizardfolk have adapted to emotions in such divergent ways! The marsh dwellers have embraced emotion to such an extreme degree they can sense it in others, and the desert dwellers have forgone it entirely! I must be honest - horned lizardfolk are the most drab, unentertaining bunch I've ever met. And I can say that knowing I won't hurt their feelings.

-Excerpt from The Complete Anthropology of Terrania

Lizardfolk are a hearty reptilian race who live in some of the least habitable environments in Terrania. By far the most populous are the Horned Lizardfolk, highly-logical beings who do not experience emotions. As a result, many customs of non-lizardfolk society (love, money, clothing) make no sense to them. However, when adopting these customs facilitates interactions with other races, they will do so (namely money and clothing). Horned lizardfolk consider their lack of emotions a boon to their race, and has helped many to become accomplished wizards, even prior to the Age of Arcana.

Frilled Lizardfolk are the exact opposite; instead of having no emotions, they experience emotions so strongly that they have an uncanny ability to sense others' emotions. They are considered a more primitive society, especially by their horned cousins, who do not speak of these relatives for concern that it will affect their image as intellects.

Some lizardfolk behavior is not well-received by the other races. Notably, both horned and frilled lizardfolk will eat their dead, though for different reasons.
