A species of dinosaur-like humanoids, mirescales revel in enjoying life and looking toward the future.
Mirescales originate from the Sunken Isles, published by Ghostfire Gaming, and have been expanded upon here.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Mireclaws are a short and lithe species of humanoid. More dinosaur than human, mirescales have long snouts, long legs, and stocky arms with strong sickle-clawed hands. Defensive scales cover most of their bodies, but they also have vibrant fringes of feathers that sprout around their eyes, neck, and chest. These feathers can also grow near joints and along the spine. They also have tails.
There are two subgroups of mirescale: the Sauropoi and the Therospoi.
Sauropoi have long necks and frills. They often have thick, stout limbs.
Therospoi, in contrast, have shorter necks and more feathers. They have sharper teeth and keener vision.

Growth Rate & Stages

Mirescales age rapidly, reaching maturity around age 8 and only living to around age 50 under good conditions.
