Homebrew Glavisker Species Details

The night was quiet, far to calm for my liking but I stood guard as I did every night. It wasn't long into the night before I heard a bone-chilling scream cut thru the air. My patron was beyond startled awake with a violent fear in her eyes. I drew my blades and waited. I knew there was no helping whoever just screamed. it was to late based off the scream. I didn't have to wait long to see what took them down. out of the darkness of the trees I saw a large creature come lunging out of the trees flying over the camp with terrifying speed, its scales sleek black with tracings of green. the beast easily crashed through the brush nearby, landing in a pool of bubbling fluid that seemed to seep from its claws. it looked back at me over its shoulder with a set piercing green eyes. The hulking beast looked me over and I guess thought it wasn't worth the fight and before I had a chance to do or say anything, it turned and lunged off deeper into the woods. That was a experience I won't soon forget.

Glavisker's have a very confusing culture as most of their villages of few and far between. Glaviskers will usually choose to fight if they view an opponent as cowardly. while not normally friendly to strangers. It is not unheard of people befriending a Glavisker. This race often sticks to more swamp lands or dense forest areas. They have the unfortunate trait of more often then not assuming the worse of a new person due to the persecutions of their race.

Glaviskers while naturally barbaric don't lean to heavily to being barbarians as most of them don't want to cause unnecessary bloodshed. The most common classes for Glaviskers are Monks, Fighters, Rangers, Blood Hunters. less common classes are Paladins, Druids, Barbarians, and Warlocks. Classes you will almost never see a Glaviskers as is Rouges, Artificers, Sorcerers, Bards, or Wizards.

Glaviskers often have Orcish or Lizardfolk names due to their brutish nature. the more brutish are closer to Orcish, the more "civilized" have more Lizardfolk or dragonborn names.

Due to their bodies natural production of acid, if a Glaviskers isn't paying attention they might melt things around them.

Glaviskers tend to be more neutral in how they approach things tending to either lean lawful neutral or chaotic neutral.

while they are more violent in their average approach to a enemy, if they see ways to solve a problem without violence, they will as they are not mindless beasts despite the common belief

height wise, most Glaviskers stand on average to be 8'7 but they rarely stand below 8ft when fully grown and its not unheard of them stand upwards of 11ft tall when standing on 2 legs. 

In terms of clothing.. these lizards will often dress in bones of their enemies or tribal clothing if its acid resistance, but usually not much else as constantly replacing acid burnt clothing would start to get annoying.
