Lizardfolk

Lizardfolk represent a statistical anomaly; a genetic link between dragons and humans. Whether this is a byproduct of failed hybridization attempts or another victim of the Divide, is ultimately left unknown to all scholars. Lizardfolk avoid civilization as much as possible, so much so that they can only be found in the desert rings of the Land of Drakes. Likely through some unknown and invisible bond, they live out their existence in proximity to the enigmatic dragons of the island. It is entirely possible that they, the Lizardfolk, have made human colonization of the Land of Drakes next to impossible.

Appearance
Lizardfolk vary in appearance rather wildly, and differ between male and female. Possible colors include just about any within the rainbow spectrum, and can come in solid colors, spotted colors or striped colors. Like other members of the Draconian species, Lizardfolk have tough scales on their exterior, able to withstand a decent amount of punishment from outside forces. Hands and feet possess sharp claws, useful for digging or as a defensive measure. While males have a fin-like mane and ridges down the back and to the tail's end, females lack such distinctions.

Diet
They are omnivores by nature; Lizardfolk will consume whatever they can get their claws on, but seem to have a tendency to at least prepare their meals before eating. Charred fire pits and crude ovens have been found in abandoned lizard folk villages. They will absolutely refuse to eat lizards of any kind, likely due to the fact that they are lizards as well. It is assumed that Lizardfolk know how to draw liquids from cacti, due to limited water supplies in the desert region. This creates an interesting picture that paints the Lizardfolk as creatures of somewhat limited intelligence, comparable to cavemen.

Habitat
Lizardfolk are entirely relegated to the vast deserts that separate the inner and outer rings of the dragon island. What they are doing there is a bit of a mystery, though have assumed that due in part to the genetic relation to dragons, Lizardfolk feel somewhat drawn to the island. Scraps of armor and metal left behind at abandoned villages suggest that the Lizardfolk arm themselves, in order to combat some of the desert's more dangerous encounters. The lizards appear quite more intelligent compared to other draconian species, and many tribal villages have begun to pop up across the width of the desert expanse.
