Homebrew Dragonsblood Lizardfolk Species Details
These Lizardfolk have dragon's blood in their veins. Though no one is certain how this came to be, either through magic like the Dragonborn or polymorphed interbreeding like the Half-dragons. Regardless, they display traits normally only found in the dragon-descended races. They are revered by their more common kin for their abilities and heritage, though in practice they are not much more powerful than most other races.
These creatures are large and imposing. Their almost metallic hides repelling all but the most stubborn or stupid attackers. Just as happy to use either a spear or their jaws, they can take apart an enemy in moments...and repair their gear from it's remains. Less aquatic than their smaller counterparts, they nevertheless should never be challenged in the water.
An inspiring figure to their "friends", and to their enemies an awesome terror to behold.
