Lethians (Lith-e-ans)
Basic Information
Anatomy
The Lethians are a large centaur like race. They're bottom half is that of a quadrupedal reptile (though are capable of having up to 8 legs), with legs that end in powerful claws, and rarely hooves. The top halves are humaniod, and will either look fairly close to a human, or lizardfolk. The top halves can also, very rarely, sport a pair draconic wings, big and strong enough to carry the Lethian
Growth Rate & Stages
Lethians grow rather slowly but live for quite a while, only maturing at 25 years old
Dietary Needs and Habits
The Lethians are strictly carnivorous and prefer the flesh of other sentient creatures
Additional Information
Average Intelligence
Lethians intelligence is hugely varied, as much so as humans can be, from brutish Lethians that only think of violence, to cold calculating killers that make complicated battle tactics to thwart their opponents
Perception and Sensory Capabilities
The Lethians are originally from the Underdark, and as such, they all have very potent darkvision, making them excellent hunters during the night
Civilization and Culture
Culture and Cultural Heritage
The Lethians are a complete warrior culture, there are almost no Lethians in existence that do not actively seek out a constant fight. Even when young, the children will fight amongst themselves to establish a pecking order. When a Lethian is finally old enough to fend for itself, it is expected for them to seek out combat with another sentient being, by it Lethian or otherwise. A Lethian that does not win its first real combat is killed by its brethren for failing to uphold the standards of their race. However, even if a Lethian wins its first combat, it is expected to continue doing so until it can accrue at least one hundred battles. When this is finally achieved that Lethian is given the title of 'Knight' and is then sent to the surface of the material plane to find a fighter that is equal to them in skill and best them in combat. Its once this is finally done that a Lethian is finally allowed to return to the Underdark and start a family and live its life freely
