Crocodilian

In the swamp and lakes of the forests in the sun realm, a crocodile head sneak out, a traveler might do the mistake of interrupting the head, thinking a crocodile or maybe an alligator will poke out. These people's few last moments will be of a large croc person emerging out of the water winging an axe at them.    Crocodilians are a race of crocodile and alligator people. They are barbaric in nature and tend to get aggressive, but due to the race war between the two sub-races, they try to be polite to get people on their sides. They live in mud huts, usually built on land as muddy and swamp as they can find, each village hosts no more than a dozen grown males and their families. Crocodilians enjoy hunting, and even though they have weapons, will rather use stealth and their jaws.   

Silent Hunters

Crocodilians travel in parties of 4-6 hunters when going to hunt. They travel in stealth, moving through the water when possible. When attacking, they will surprise their prey. and if they don't manage to kill it instantly, they will move to attack mode where they will pull out weapons. They mostly hunt mammals such as deer and horses and large birds.   

Flamboyant Reptiles

The Crocodilians like to decorate themself with artifacts and objects they took from slain prey and foes. when seeing a crocodilian, he might be wearing feathers, teeth, horns, fangs,  and other loot, in addition, they might be wearing colorful ribbons and body colors, that is because they like bright colors for an unexplained reason.   

Bird Lovers

The Crocodilian tends to befriend Skywalkers, as for some reason they are fascinated by this particular fusion of food and person. They welcome any Skywalker that visits their villagers and treats them with kindness and food as if they were nobles, all in an attempt to make them stay/return.   

Divided Race

The Crocodilian race is divided into Crocodiles and Alligators. The two sides hate each other and want to be the only crocodilian subrace. The Crocodiles believe that they are the true Crocodilian and that the alligators are defective mutations. The alligator believes the crocs to be of lesser intelligence and barbaric. As part of their unending race war, each race will attack and occupie the villages of the other race. Most of the time the residents of the conquered village will be banished, but on rare occasions they will be killed, this is not received well by any crocodilian.
