At first glance, pterafolk in their natural forms look like tail-less lizardfolk, but they are much taller and leaner and have elongated cranial crests like pteranodons. They have smooth, fine scales, much like those of a snake, that ranged in color from forest-green to light shades of tan. Their arms and legs are thin and long, and their hands and feet bear sharp claws.
While not all lizardfolk are evil, it is generally agreed that pterafolk are cruel and vicious as a rule. They are highly untrusting of anyone outside their own race. They have an innate predilection towards violent behavior, but those raised in other societies sometimes had the capacity to overcome this tendency.
Pterafolk liked to collect things valued by the communities near where they lived.
Their culture is one where the strong trample on the weak, and the needs of an individual outweigh the needs of the group.
