A Troglodyte
Troglodytes are an intelligent species of repitlian humanoids closely related to Lizardmen, whom they resemble in all but size and for whom they often act as warriors and guards. Although they are rarer than Lizardmen, Troglodytes are greatly feared and are formidable opponents, often being employed as "shock troops" by the Lizardmen.[1a]
They are extremely stupid and, therefore, do not rise to positions of leadership within Lizardmen communities. They have no appreciation of complex tactics in combat and are simply pointed at the enemy and told to kill. Frequently, they even fail to notice when an opponent is dead, mindlessly continuing to beat and rip a corpse for some time after it has ceased to put up any resistance.[1a]
Troglodytes emit a noxious stench, which is repulsive to non-reptilian intelligent species.[1a]
Appearance[]
Troglodytes are over ten feet tall, but otherwise identical to Lizardmen. They are well-muscled, with typical reptilian scaled heads and broad tails. Their scale colours vary in the same way as the smaller Lizardmen, with green scales being the most common.[1a][1b]
Language[]
Troglodytes speak Ss'kyzz'l'k, a dialect of the Lizardmen language known as Sslssyl'k or Saurian.[1c]
