Scalekin

Origins
Scalekin are told by many to be the offspring of a woman and a dragon.

Appearance
Scalekin are usually bright green, light blue or a brown color, but occasionaly come in orange or red depending on what climate they're raised in. Scalekin who are raised in the jungle or swamplands are usually green or light-blue to blend in to their wet and earthy climate. Those being born within the desert or savanna are usually brown but are occasionally yellowish orange or rarely red.

Gender doesn't affect how scalekin appear other than the fact the females are a tad smaller and more shapely. They are a very slender lithe race with soft fleshy skin, sharp teeth, lizard-like tails, claws and occasionally horns or spikes from natural selection or genetic mutations. Most have a small bit of hair on their head that's usually styled into a mohawk. They have generally good eyesight and due to their natural camouflage are difficult to see in combat. Most are six to seven feet tall, about the size of an average to above average human male.

Behavior
Scalekin are a very passive race in most cases, but the Mizrall Tribe is an exception. Scalekin live to be about 150 years old but usually die in battle beforehand. This race lays eggs and has entire underground cave systems filled with guarded eggs. They are then raised by their entire tribe.

Culture
Little is known about the Scalekin other than their strong spirituality and friendship with the Orc race.

Religion
Many Scalekin follow Shamanism closely.
