Lizardman

Lizardmen (リザードマ) are one of the demi-human races in the New World. They are humanoid lizards that have shared human and reptilian characteristics. Lizardmen dwell in the southern part of the The Great Lake.

Background
Originally there were seven tribes of the lizardmen; Green Claw, Small Fang, Razor Tail, Dragon Tusk, Yellow Speckle, Sharp Edge and Red Eye but due to shortages of food, especially fish, war broke out and now only five remain. The Yellow Speckle and Sharp Edge having been defeated, the remnants were absorbed by Dragon Tusk which didn't participate in the war.

Appearance
A race of humanoid lizards that come in a variety of reptilian breeds. Like humans they have five digits ending in short claws. The average height of an adult male lizardmen is about 190 centimeters (six feet) and the average weight is about 100 kg (243 lbs). Possessing scales more similar to those of a crocodile instead of a lizard’s, they are harder and stronger against the low-end defensive equipment used by humans.

Abilities
They have 1.4 more muscle mass compared to humans. In addition they possess a thick crocodile-like tail that extends from the hip. It is exclusively used for balance. Once the tail grows to 140 cm it can be used as a potential weapon. Due to their conditions in their natural environment the lizardmen have evolved to possess webbed feet for ease of movement on the wetlands.

Culture
While seen as savages by humans in the New World, the Lizardmen in fact possess a sophisticated tribal culture. Each tribe has a chief that leads them. Chiefs are selected every few years through a test of strength within the tribe so only the strongest rule. They have absolute authority on all matters and assembly of the tribe only happened once in a blue moon. Due to the hardship in gathering food in their living area, survival of the fittest is seen as the natural order of things, so war over resources was not initially seen as detrimental. Though divided into various tribes, the Lizardmen all have a common cultural connection that revolve around a set of four items that are regarded as sacred treasures. Possessing one earns the wielders the utmost respect and attention.

The Four Treasures of the Lizardmen are:
 * The Frost Pain
 * The Great Wine Pot
 * The White Dragon Bone Armor
