Homebrew 🐊 Scalekin (Croc-Folk) Species Details

The Scalekin of Ashendell—massive, crocodilian humanoids—were born from the Great Change that flooded the world with mana. Whether a product of Fey magic, draconic experimentation, or the evolution of ancient beasts, they have become the stalwart protectors of rivers and swamps. Their Riverholds, ruled by Scalechiefs, stand as symbols of strength and unity. Two primary subraces exist: the Nile Crocs, who roam open rivers and sun-baked savannas, and the Swamp Gators, who defend murky wetlands with primal ferocity.
