Saurian
In a word? Adaptable. They adjust quickly to new situations. Perhaps not the most cultured of peoples at times, but they pick up culture quickly. A saurian bard will manipulate your emotions with the best of 'em.
Saurians are reptile humanoids who like to live in dangerous places like deep dark swamps, old ruins, and caverns half-submerged under water. They are frequently possessive, sticking to what they have carved out for themselves, and are rarely seen in the company of others. However, there are instances when a community will flourish alongside that of other humanoids, and they will learn to appreciate the mutual benefits of cooperating with different races, even joining and merging with other humanoid groups if they see the arrangement as advantageous.
Saurians do not wear armor since they like their thickly scaled bodies, although they do utilize finely crafted shell and bone shields to defend themselves. Some saurians regard dragons as their superiors, seeing themselves as lesser copies of them, and are occasionally observed serving them.
