Homebrew Drazardfolk Species Details

Born of dragonborn and Lizardfolk, these hearty offspring are naturally tougher than their predecessors and inheriting much of their resistances and natural tools they can weaponize.

Fierce Saurian

Drazardfolk look very much like their dragonborn and lizardfolk parents, standing erect like most humanoids. Though they lack wings, they have a thick and sinewy tail. Their coin-sized, broad scales usually reflect the dragonborn's side of their ancestry They are tall and densely built, often standing between 6'7" - 7'5" feet tall and weighing 300 - 450 pounds. Their hands and feet are strong, talonlike claws with three fingers and a thumb on each hand. Aside from being able to inherit a breath weapon, Drazardfolk also inherit a jaw fit to chomp down with crunching force.

Strong Bonds

To any drazardfolk, the family unit is more important than life itself. Drazardfolk owe a great deal of their devotion and respect to their family almost above all else. While not as invested in  honoring his or her clan, they often prove to be staunch warriors in any military ranks

While they have a strong drive for self-improvement and self-sufficiency, reflecting both reptilian races, Drazardfolk value skill and excellence in all endeavors that they'd like to pursue in their own time. They hate to fail, but when it proves too difficult, Drazardfolk shelf it for a time before visiting again with refreshed mind, and would readily accept help from anyone they trust and believe to be able to give a fresh perspective.
