Arkite

Arkites resemble humanoids with crocodile heads, tails, and scales. Their arms and legs are humanoid in shape, though they are nevertheless covered in thick green scales like a crocodile's. They are excellent swimmers and can hold their breath for extended periods of time, like their crocodile cousins. They also feature the strong and menacing jaws of the crocodile as well.
Arkite communities are most often found in swamps or along large rivers and deltas. These communities value martial prowess and see themselves as protectors of their territory. Despite this, their communities are relaxed places, where members spend warm days lounging by the water and chatting casually. When they gather to hunt, however, they tend to be deadly serious.
