## Physical Description

One of the largest and most physically powerful races of Seedorus, the Darugon are smooth-skinned Dragonfolk vaguely resembling anthropomorphic lizards.  Darugon have a pair of large, lightly curved horns on their draconic heads and are followed by a long muscular tail.  Darugon walk digitigrade and have vestigial claws on their digits.  The Darugon physique is extremely robust, and even the smallest and weakest Darugon have well-defined musculature.  Although they have smooth skin on roughly 80% of their body, Darugon do have a small number of large, thin plate-like scales scattered across their body.  This plating offers little protection against physical injury, but serves to absorb a large amount of elemental energy.  Darugon skin is also inherently resistant to elemental energy as well and Darugon skin and scale colors are directly linked to what kind of elemental energy they are able to absorb.

Darugon have a similar degree and spectrum of sexual dimorphism to Humans and have moderate pseudo-mammalian characteristics among females.  Darugon do lay eggs but only if fertilized.

## Game Rules

* +2 Strength, -2 Dexterity, +2 Constitution: Darugon are strong and tough, but their raw size makes them relatively clumsy and ham-fisted. (Specialized Ability Scores - 1 RP)
* *Low-Light Vision (Ex):* Darugon see twice as well as Humans in dark conditions.  (Low-Light Vision - 1 RP)
* *Darkvision (Ex):* Darugon have darkvision out to 60 feet. (Darkvision 60' - 2 RP)
* *Energy Resistance (Ex):* Each Darugon is resistant to one or more forms of elemental energy. The energy type a Darugon is primarily resistant to also decides its color. A Darugon's energy resistance comes in one of three types – resistance 25 to a single energy form, resistance 15 to one energy form and 10 to another, or resistance 5 to all five of the listed damage types. (Ad hoc variant on Energy Resistance, 5 applications - 5 RP, plus 1 RP for stackability)
	+ *Fire:* The Darugon is primarily resistant to fire damage and is a red coloration.
	+ *Cold:* The Darugon is primarily resistant to cold damage and is a dark blue coloration.
	+ *Electricity:* The Darugon is primarily resistant to electricity damage and is a light blue-gray coloration.
	+ *Acid:* The Darugon is primarily resistant to acid damage and is a pale green coloration.
	+ *Sonic:* The Darugon is primarily resistant to sonic damage and effects and is an opalescent coloration.
	+ *Prismatic:* The Darugon has resistance 5 to fire, cold, electricity, acid, and sonic damage, and is a swirl of different colors across the Darugon coloration spectrum; generally, one color predominates and the remaining form prismatic patterns across the Darugon's skin.
	+ *Naruyxian*: The Darugon largely prefer not to speak of these very rare "tainted" Darugon.  Naruyxian Darugon are named for Naruyxz, the dragon goddess of death and unlife, largely because these Darugon have resistance 25 to Negative Energy damage.  Unlike other forms of Darugon, Naruyxian Darugon never have resistances to other damage forms, and are an onyx coloration with eerie black eyes marked only by pencil-thin lambent irises, which are any other color associated with Darugon colorations.  The birth of a Naruyxian Darugon is considered a curse by most parents, and few such children survive such stigma.
