Homebrew Acrodont Species Details
Acrodonts are a race of lizard-like humanoids much akin to Lizardfolk. The large difference between Lizardfolk and Acrodonts are the Acrodonts' ability to blend in with their surroundings, likely born of the species being raised out of a dangerous and predatory environment. In the same vein, their eyes are always on a swivel, being able to look in two different directions at once. The last differentiating feature is the horns these individuals sport on their heads, capable of staggering a predator briefly in the interest of giving time to run.
