Lizardfolk Reference Sheet

Commissioned from 
Another one of my Pathfinder races.
--------------------------------------------

Description: Lizardfolk are omnivorous, however they have a preference for meat. They universally enjoy sun-basking, bathing, and swimming.
Although they are ectotherms, or cold-blooded, lizardfolk possess a relatively high metabolic rate for reptiles, which enable them to not be as dependent on external heat sources to regulate their body temperatures as other reptiles.
Sunbasking in the mornings is an activity which can be found in all lizardfolk cultures, but this is not required to function normally. Because of their intellect and use of tools, lizardfolk have other important heat sources such as fire, cloth, and furs which serve crucial roles to control their body temperatures.

Lizardfolk have tetrachromatic vision and can perceive colors within the ultraviolet spectrum. This enables them to perceive a far greater range of colors than most other races, and distinguish between colors which to most other races appear to be identical. To lizardfolk, most other races are colorblind.

Sex and Reproduction: The sexual behavior of lizardfolk are quite different from those of the other races. A virgin lizardwoman has very little interest in sexual intercourse beyond reproduction, and choose her mates based on either their looks or their accomplishments. Once a lizardwoman has lost her virginity, she will desire and partake in recreational sex as much as members of other races do.
In contrast, sexually mature lizardmen desire sex as much as the males of other races. Because of this, the need to impress lizardwomen for mating opportunities has been the driving force behind many of the accomplishments of lizardmen. This is also the reason why lizardfolk society tend to be matriarchal.
Lizardfolk do not comprehend rape except for as a method of sexual gratification, and even then they rarely copulate with anyone who seems unwilling.

Like other races, sexual intercourse between a lizardman and a lizardwoman does not automatically lead to conception. However, when it does, the lizardwoman will usually lay one or two eggs two months afterwards. These eggs are kept somewhere warm and cared for until they are ready to hatch, which usually takes six months.
During this time of egg tending, lizardwomen are still fertile, which means that a very productive family can end up with a very big clutch.

Physical Description: Possessing a muscular, lean, and agile build, lizardfolk look like large, bipedal lizards. They typically stand just a few inches taller than most humans, with an average height of six feet, and are covered in brown scales with black stripes. Lizardfolk jaws are lined with sharp teeth, and they possess claws capable of rendering a human to pieces.
Eye colors range from amber, brown, green, and yellow.

Lizardmen are slightly larger than lizardwomen. They have large crests on their heads and two sail-like crests, one along their backs and one along the tails. Lizardmen with large crests are usually thought to be very attractive, while those with small crests are generally thought of as unattractive and even ugly.
Lizardmen have a pair of hemipenes which are held inverted, within the body, and are everted for copulation via erectile tissue, much like that of a human penis.

Lizardwomen are slightly smaller than lizardmen and have only small crests on their heads.
They have a cloaca, a posterior opening that serves as the only such opening for the intestinal, reproductive, and urinary tracts.
