Homebrew Gelithar Species Details
Gelithar (Jelly-Lizard Dragonborn)
“Descended from a long-forgotten brood of deep-buried draconic experiments, the Gelithar are sleek, low-crawling predators of the Abyss. Their semi-translucent bodies shimmer with bioluminescence, and their sinewy limbs end in clawed pads that can cling to stone or glass. They communicate in echo-harmonics, and bleed memories more than blood.”
