Lizard-men are nebulous and secretive creatures, keeping to themselves in deserts and river-banks (depending on their heritage). They are tall (sometimes in excess of 7'!) and muscular, and covered in a natural mesh of green and brown scales--giving them a spotted appearance. Lizard-men have a savage lifestyle, raiding and pillaging surrounding villages, or hunting and fishing in less populated areas. Their attack strategies vary, depending on the odds. Lizard-men prefer an all-out, berserk attack when outnumbering their foes, and resort to ambushes and sneak attacks when less confident of the outcome. Lizard-men have yellow or orange eyes with narrow slits as pupils, and tails (non-prehensile) that run from 3' to 4' long. Lizard-men are quick and strong, especially over their native terrain. Since they are secluded, however, their ways seem backward to most other races, and their minds have developed in different directions. Lizard-men do not make superior spell-casters, although some of the elite do learn a bit of the art. These amphibious creatures perceive light levels as most humans, but are not quite as well adapted to the dark.
