Homebrew Barinoid Species Details
Barinoids are large crocodile like people. They use the ocean, rivers, and other bodies of water as nomadic tribes. They constantly keep growing as long as they keep their stomach full. The largest of this species growing to the size of huge dragons, but with that they are quite old and tend to starve if not fed through the rest of the tribe. Your maw is full of huge teeth that are used to catch both fish and any unlucky creature that is near your mouth drinking from water sources.
