Homebrew Crocodilians Species Details

The Crocodilians are a direct relative of the Lizardfolk. Despite their resemblance to those other scaled folk, however, Crocodilians are their own people and have lived in the world for centuries, but were killed for being considered "defective" by their relatives the Lizardfolk. Crocodilians were given a chance at freedom from their goddess Falia, Goddess of Rivers and Freedom. Because of that fact, Crocodilians are deathly religious, finding those who believe their goddess to be fake as enemies, and most people believe her to be fake. Crocodilians are also untrusting, especially to Lizardfolk, it's neigh impossible for Crocodilians to trust Lizardfolk, and difficult for them to trust everyone else. Having been in hiding for so long Crocodilians have become semi-nocturnal, and don't usually stay awake during the afternoon.

Crocodilians are usually dark green and black with dark green eyes. Crocodilians share very similar head characteristics with Crocodiles.
