Lizard Folk
The Lizard folk are large and powerful with strong jaws that can deliver a devastating bite or employ their vicious claws that are capable of rending flesh to pulp.
They stand 6 to 8 feet with a thick scaly hide that offers some protection on top of their chosen armor. They often choose to wear the heaviest armor they can get their hands on. This added protection makes up for their ponderously slow movement.
Content to spend their afternoons basking in the warmth of the sun or lounging in a swamp, Lizard folk have a reputation for being lazy. This is not exactly true, they just have a much slower metabolism and prefer to conserve their strength for more strenuous activities such as battle or training for battle.
When they are not lounging they spend their time training and honing their battle skills. Their entire societal structure is based on battle prowess. They learn to hold a weapon even before they learn how to walk.
In the rare event that a youngling shows berserker tendencies they are immediately placed in a separate training facility that specialized in offensive berserker combat.
The majority of their rank consists of warriors with a few shamans scattered in that act as advisor to the tribal leader. Berserkers are used as their special forces shock troops. It is rare, but you will find an occasional druid among them as well.
Those Lizard folks that choose to live in the harsh desert, of the Great Wasteland, are often at odds with the Arachnids and Scorpids that also claim the desert as their home.
Disputes over territory are quite common and more often than not it leads to bloodshed. Combining the level of violence the Scorpids and Arachnids are capable of, with the hardened battle philosophy and lifestyle of the Lizard Folk, is the perfect combination for a violent battle to explode at any time.
