Homebrew Crocfolk Species Details

 

The Crocfolks are humanoid four armed crocodiles that lurk in swamplands. Their tendency to fight can be reflected by their physical appearance. They have a reptilian layer of scales that cover their bodies and a large snout that conceals rows of dangerously sharp teeth. Their hands and feet are also outfitted with sharp claws. They are frequently mistaken as overly-muscular lizardfolk with their thick tails and reptilian appearance. They cite numerous obvious differences, namely their tough bodies, long snouts, and stronger tails.

Crocfolks live in swampy villages and prefer to be left alone. While they may seem large and fierce, they have a soft side to them that takes years of trust to appear. When they're around those that they have known for a long time, they are rather gentle creatures and care dearly for their allies. Because of their physical appearance, they are oftentimes mistaken as overly-muscular lizardfolk. Crocodilians take pride in their race and will take great offense to those mistaking them as lizardfolk.

The crocfolk are a rare race to come across. They usually belong to a tribe, however it's usually a group of family members living together. They are fierce fighters and always split the loot with their friends and family. Crocfolk have a short temper, much like a lizard folk if they don't think your strong enough they will leave you to die, however when crocfollk leave you behind, they are the ones that kill you. They protect their family before anyone else. It's rare to a crocfolk not close to water. If you end up in the water with one, the crocfolk will end your life before you realize they where there.

  Little is known about their history because they don't care enough to pass it on. However, through an intensive study by scholars, it is now known that crocfolks used to be ruled by the Yuan-Ti until their kingdom was overthrown. A rebellion formed against them because of their ruthless nature.
