Lizardfolk

The **Lizardfolk** are one of the species of the game. They are bipedal humanoid lizards. They can be found in the Swamp as well as in the Ruins. Their scales vary in color and can be brown, green, red, or blue. They are usually a peaceful society, quite secluded, not very open to strangers. They are particularly affected by the curse of lust and can become more beast than human when under the Curse: Instead of protecting their own and living according to their ancient traditions; they become consumed by lust.

## Culture

Two tribes have currently been discovered: one in the Ruins, the other one in an unknown location. Little is known about the second tribe and its only known member is Nauxus. Thanks to Othra, the current priestess of the tribe from the Ruins, we know how rich Lizardfolk's culture is with many traditions. The tribe is run by a couple of Lizardfolk, a female called the priestess, and a male called the chief. This way to rule has been established by Orsu and Razit, respectively former priestess and chief of the tribe long ago. It is not known if they are actual historical figures or if they are more of a mythical couple. They are now revered as gods. A long time ago, Lizardfolk didn't live in the Ruins: they lived in the swamp in what is now called the Forgotten Temple before the land was flooded by the ever-expanding swamp.

Male-female relationships are at the center of their culture. Females are called acolytes and males are called warriors (although at least one known male describes himself as an herbalist and is less interested in readiness for battle). The cornerstone of a partnership is a deep spiritual connection between partners, Lizardfolk mate for life. Gender roles are very traditional in the tribe. Warriors hunt and protect the tribe while acolytes stay in town, grow fruits and herbs, and care for the sick. Acolytes also make clothes, take care of armor and sharpen their weapons. Breeding is also ritualized, although little is known about the actual ritual except that it lasts half a day and involves long and passionate breeding. Lizardfolk are oviparous.

Under the curse, the breeding ritual is not respected. The creatures that then hatch from the eggs are not normal Lizardfolks. Little details were given by Othra. The only thing that is known about those creatures is that the simple sight of them was traumatic to Othra.

## Enemies

When under the Curse, Lizardfolk become aggressive and seek only one thing: sex, at all costs. There are lots of types of lizardfolk that are aggressive and that might block your path during your adventures.

### Lizardman Warrior

Lizardman Warriors are the most common enemies in the Swamp. Because of the curse of lust, their arousal will increase by 10 for each passing turn. There are three types of lizardman warriors (see dedicated page for details).
