Lizardfolk

Lizardfolk are reclusive, cold-blooded humanoids that are reptilian in nature. They inhabit marshes, forests, and jungles, and are usually found far from civilized human lands. They are not known to speak common or Latin, and thus are difficult for humans to communicate with. In combat, they typically wield clubs and spiked shields, and sometimes javelins, although they also have "witch doctors" who can cast magical spells. Lizardfolk do not follow traditional Roman ideals of law or morality, killing whenever it is necessary and doing whatever they need to do for survival. 
Lizardfolk interact with other races only rarely. They tend to live in the hinterlands far from civilization, and as they do not speak any known languages that the other races can understand, communication with them can be difficult or impossible.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Lizardfolk are bipedal tetrapods, much like more typical humanoid species, but they have scales instead of skin, and long tails. Their hands and feet are clawed, and they have a sharp row of pointed, crocodilian teeth. Their internal body plan follows the same basic structure as most bipedal humanoids, although their hearts are 3.5-chambered rather than 4-chambered, as are those of most reptiles. Lizardfolk are cold-blooded, and require a source of heat in colder climes.

Genetics and Reproduction

Lizardfolk females lay eggs in a nest and these eggs then hatch after a few weeks to produce baby Lizardfolk.

Growth Rate & Stages

Lizardfolk young usually reach full maturity in their early teens.

Ecology and Habitats

Lizardfolk prefer wetlands such as swamps, marches, and riverside areas. They can be found in any climate, but tend to build large fires for warmth in colder areas.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Lizardfolk will eat just about anything, but they prefer humanoid flesh. When they can get them, Lizardfolk prefer to eat Humans, and Elves especially.

Civilization and Culture

Interspecies Relations and Assumptions

Lizardfolk have no formal relationship with any of the warm-blooded humanoid species. They have been seen to work with Yuan-Ti and Kobolds in the past, but it is unclear if these are allies, or if one species is working for or enslaved to the other.
