Homebrew Aldani Species Details

Aldani resemble lobsters, but are the size of a human being. They walk upright on two humanoid legs, but swim like lobsters. Despite their appearance, the aldani are highly intelligent and quite civilized race of beings. They generally try to avoid conflict, thus whenever disputes arise among aldani they try to settle them with courtly tournaments, though such privilege would not be offered to non-aldani that fall afoul of them. When disturbed by outsiders, an aldani would not resort to violence. Instead they would try their best to frighten them away. Barring that, they would try to bribe the creature into leaving them alone, offering treasures that they had collected.
