Lizardfolk: Poison Dusk
Overview
The poison dusk are the smallest of the lizardfolk, and are renowned for their chameleon like skin and deadly poisons. They have poisonous glands that make them less desirable to predators, from which they have learned to distill poison. They value stealth and quick strikes over open battle, and are experts at ambushing. They enjoy the thrill of pursuit, and hunt down their quarry relentlessly. Their determination never waivers, once they commit to something they will see it through. They live in secluded places and guard the secret location of their nests with their lives. They do not discriminate, all trespassers to their lands die the same.
