Homebrew Aligatorian Species Details

These beast-like creatures are humanoid alligators, much taller than the average human. They usually grow to around 8' tall, their tallest being 10' tall. Some aligotarians are born with pure white eyes, often regarded as a sign of strength, endurance, and the will to protect amongst other aligotarians. They usually have dark green scales on their back, arms, and tail. Their belly, hands, and lower jaw are covered in white scales. They usually reach adulthood at the age of 25, and become old at 340 years. Healthy aligotarians can live up to 400years.

Born in swamp lands, most of their kind, in the beginning, worshiped Eldath of the Water Domain. After many years of peace within the swamplands, humans began to slowly drain their water source, as both the humans and aligotarian tribes considered it "sharing" until the humans got greedy and it became barren. For survival, they were forced to retreat further into the swamps, and lost their homes, as well as the ways of life of when they served Eldath. Most still cling to their faith a serve Eldath and typically lean towards being lawful good pacifists, only resorting to violence to protect themselves or their waters. Some have lost their faith in Eldath after she failed to protect their home and may be of any alignment.
