Rasps

Small Reptilian Humanoid, very social and outgoing, they tend to try to blend in well with civilized races. Often believed to be the Halfling equivalent of a Dragonborn, they actually bear no shared ancestry. They share an intrinsic interest in shiny objects but don't suffer from the hoarding tendencies of dragons. They often join themselves to a greater endeavor or cause, aligning themselves to powerful creatures of good alignment. They are often associated with good luck for whatever cause they are attached to.
