Homebrew Frilled Lizardfolk Species Details
Frilled Lizardfolk (or Kingii as they refer to themselves) are native to the Amedio Jungle. As it's name implies, it has a large frill around its neck, which usually stays folded against the lizardfolk's body. Whenever it is frightened, threatening a foe, or attempting to woe a potential mate, the frill expands involuntary, displaying bright orange and red scales. The other defensive adaptation that this subspecies has developed is a sticky tar-like venom that it can excrete to blind adversaries. The Kingii are piscivores, eating exclusively fish and mollusks. Unlike most lizardfolk, males of this type do not live in tribes. They are solitary hunters who only return to the tribes during mating season. The females form very closely knit tribal units focused on protecting the young until they reach maturity at the age four.
Frilled Lizardfolk Traits
Amphibious. Deimatic Display. Natural Claws. Venomous Spit.Hold Breath
You can hold your breath for up to 15 minutes at a time.
Deimatic Display
Whenever a Frilled Lizardfolk is threatening someone, attempting to influence another's opinion, or otherwise in a heightened emotional state, the frill involuntarily opens. This is largely beneficial when attempting to frighten an enemy away or impress a potential mate, but makes lying incredibly difficult to conceal. As a result, whenever a frilled lizardfolk attempts an Intimidate or Persuasion skill check, it can add 1d4 to its roll. However, Deception checks are made with a 1d8 penalty.
Bite
Your fanged maw is a natural weapon, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with it, you deal piercing damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.
Venomous Spit
You can use your action to spit a venomous tar-like substance at an enemy.
When you use your Venomous Spit, choose a single creature within 15' of you. That creature must make a Constitution saving throw. The DC for this saving throw equals 8 + your Constitution modifier + your Proficiency Bonus. On a failed save the creature is blinded. At the end of each turn, the creature may make another save to end this effect.
After you use your Venomous Spit, you can’t use it again until you complete a Short or Long Rest.
Ability Score Increase
Your Constitution score increases by 2, and your Charisma score increases by 1.
