Homebrew Gatorfolk Species Details

Gatorfolk are a subspecies of lizardfolk, often sporting much larger stature, musculature, and appetites. Considered the apex predators of the swamps they call home, there is not much a Gatorfolk cannot take on. With their tough scales, reticulating eyelids, and impressive bite force, there is not much that can get in the way of these swampy creatures.

Hungry Jaws

As a bonus action, you can make a special attack with your bite. If the attack hits, it deals its normal damage, and you gain temporary hit points (minimum of 1) equal to your Constitution modifier, and you can’t use this trait again until you finish a short or long rest.

Natural Armor

You have tough, scaly skin. When you aren’t wearing armor, your AC is 13 + your Dexterity modifier. You can use your natural armor to determine your AC if the armor you wear would leave you with a lower AC. A shield’s benefits apply as normal while you use your natural armor.

 

Darkvision

Accustomed to swampy undergrowth and the murky black of brackish water, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
