Homebrew Draxus Species Details
I once went to a Draxus village with my crew on our way to a quest. We had only heard of stories of them, how they were vicious carnivores and how cunning and smart they were. We were readying for a fight when we saw one of them. It was smaller than us but not by much, its scales were green and he occasionally let out his tongue that almost touched his red frill on his neck. We approached cautiously as he watched us, he did not react. We approached him further and he tilted his head like a confused dog. "Need no for sneak travelers, we are just village of peace. Commerce is nice though," he invited. It appeared that these lizardfolk were friendlier than we thought and thus our opinion was changed. They were in fact smart, but they only ate animal meat (which horrified our druid) but were friendly to us.

Draxus Traits
As a Draxus, you have the intelligence and wisdom only others could dream of. Your days in the dark has given your people darkvision and a love of the sunlight.Extreme Intelligence

The life of a lizard is shorter than others, Draxus reach maturity at age 5 and expire around the age of 30-35.

Additionally, if you are hit by a fire attack, you can take your turn immediately after (still gets your turn in initiation order). However, your scales are fragile and brittle to the cold. All cold attacks deal double damage against you and will always freeze you for one turn. Freezing prevents you from moving and ignores your next turn, you can unthaw via fire.
