Behirborn

Behirborn are humanoids descended from the monstrosity called a behir, a twelve limbed, blue, lightning breathing serpent foe of dragons created by the ancient Giant Lords. When the Primordial Dragons created the dragonborn, the Giant Lords created the behirborn to counteract the dragons.   Behirborn are humanoids with blue skin and small horns, though they lack hair. They have long torso with four arms that have sharp claws. Like the behirs from which they are descended, any behirborn is able to breath lightning. Their bodies are covered in smooth scales and have serpentine tails.   Behirborn communities are most often found in mountainous regions, caverns underground, or among communities of giants. These communities are strong oral traditions that relate their origins and the long history of warfare between the giants and dragons. Many of the stories passed down the generations depict giants as the heroic protagonists, though many contemporary behirborn understand the bias implicit in their old stories. Behirborn community traditions often include athletic competitions, especially wrestling. As a result of their giant origins, behirborn societies tend to have a hierarchical structure.
