For a race that most often dwells deep within the steamy
confines of Swamps and Marshes, Lizard men are renown throughout the lands
as being one of the most cold, heartless barbarian like pseudo-peoples
of the Lands of Tyrra...
Usually standing somewhere between 5 and 7ft tall (although there have
been rumored sightings of members of the race exceeding 9ft), Lizard men
are cold-blooded beasts with the hearts to match...Known for their ready
and willingness to feast upon the flesh of "civilized races", they're usually
hunted down and killed on site, should one be spotted in the general area
of a village or town...Strong of muscle as well as tough of hide, Lizard men
is a general description for many Pseudo-Reptilian races...Most (as the
varying races of Gorbe resemble smaller feline species) have some general
appearance to a smaller, less dangerous Reptilian counterpart (Chameleons,
Iguanids, Agamids or any of the various Varanus/Monitor species)...Some
are adorned with massive horn-like protrusions, while others sport colorful
frills atop their heads and backs...Some have been documented as having
lengthy bony ridges atop their heads, believed to help attract mates and
communicate over long distances by bellowing air through their nasal passages
which connect within them...Yet others, as legends tell, even resemble
some of the voracious and giant "Thunder Lizards" (known as "Dinosaurs"
in some lands)!...I admit, I've never myself seen such a fearsome breed
of Saurian and to be quite honest, I don't believe my old heart could handle
such a sight...
