Description
Many believe that the Lizardfolk are related to dragonborn or kobolds but they are not. They do share a bit of design, as the same god who made Kobolds attempted a second time with lizardfolk, although Refelia intervening with the process changed the design considerably. Gifted with remarkable physical defenses and a mystical connection to the natural world, lizardfolk can survive with just their wits in situations that would be deadly for other creatures. They prefer humid and warm environments and they have developed a good relationship with Sea Elf over the years. They are famous for eating about almost anything that wouldn't harm them, including their fallen comrades. Cannibalism is a tradition to honor the fallen, and eating fallen enemies is said to give you their spiritual strength. Amongst other things, this habit have made them disliked in the Savage Lands, as they often tried to eat Centaur (Legacy), Minotaur, or Tabaxi / Katari people. While they understand and follow rules of a society, when it comes to food, they follow their own code. They are expert hunters and ambushers and often hired by people who try to journey through the Savage Lands. In societies of Eratus and Caldar, their eating habits make them hard to socialize and make any friends. They are often kicked out of taverns grossing out every other customer.
