Lizardfolk are a swamp-dwelling race. They look like a hybrid of human and lizard. Lizardfolk are quick to anger, and ticking one off is a bad idea.

Physical Qualities
Greenscale lizardfolk have reptilian features. Their heads are those of lizards, and they are covered in (usually green) scales from head to toe. They have long, powerful tails which they use to propel them through the water. Their fingers and toes end in claws. Lizardfolk are tall, strong, and athletic.
Greenscale lizarfolk are fully grown at age 2. They live about 100 years on average.
Playing an Greenscale
Lizardfolk are a wild, savage race, and they are often disliked by members of other races. Lizardfolk are not particularly intelligent, and they believe that violence is ALWAYS the answer. Thus, many lizardfolk bear scars from past fights. They love simple pleasures such as dancing, feasting, and wrestling, though they loathe more refined arts with a passion. They are quick to anger, and they love conflict, particularly physical conflict. Lizardfolk get along fine with races that are wild or love nature, and thus they get along fine with fey, halflings, goliaths, minotaurs, shifter, and half-orcs.

Greenscale Adventurers
Three sample Greenscale adventurers are described below.
Untharis is a Greenscale fighter. His tribe was wiped out by hobgoblins when he was in the egg, and he was raised by elves instead. He constantly practices with his battleaxe, for he want to be the best he can be. He has sworn revenge on the hobgolblins, but so far he hasn't been able to find them.
Reldar is a Greenscale barbarian. Long ago, she was walking in the wood when she came across a crocodile spirit. She now uses the power of that spirit to fuel her barbarian rage. However, she has recently come across a legend about a sinister crocodile spirit, and she has begun to question motives of her so called guardian.
Vangor is a Greenscale ranger. Even as a child, he felt an incredible wanderlust. Eventually, he left home, fighting for himself, battling deadly monsters of the wilderness. He has fallen in with a group of adventurers, and he has sworn to defend them until the end. The group was distrustful of him at first, but they now recognize him as a devoted ally and deadly adversary.
