Homebrew Chameck Species Details

Ages ago, a mad elven wizard desired to create a hybrid between the lizardfolk of the jungles and the elven people. After many experiments, he succeeded in his task by combining a small color-changing lizard native to the jungles with participants of the lizardfolk and elven races. The early members of this race escaped from the wizard's lab and fled into the jungles, where they live to this day. The Chameck's combined heritage has resulted in their height, ranging from around five foot eight inches tall to six foot six tall on average. They also possess skin colors and patterns of every variety imaginable, as well as the ability to change their skin at will. More evidence of their distinct elven heritage is found in their slight build, long pointed ears, and hair that can change similarly to their skin. Chameck's eyes are almond-shaped with slit pupils and cover a spectrum of colors with double eyelids. Their noses are simply small slits in the center of their faces. In addition, they have pointed teeth and claw-like nails on each of their five fingers.
