Prehistoric Lizardfolk

Background

Tucked away in the annals of history lie the Prehistoric Lizardfolk. Beastly creatures that at one time roamed the land in great numbers. Tribal in community they feasted on the bounty of the world and hunted it’s vast jungles and forests. Through time and change, they became smaller, weaker, more suited to life among the civilized.

However, tucked away in a deep cavern hidden on a mountain that borders a massive jungle, a large pocket of these barbarians has found themselves frozen in time. Their monstrous forms locked away in a icy prison, until recently. A small seismic activity brought heat into their cavern, melting away the ice that once kept them frozen in time. The warmth revitalizing their blood has given these barbarians a second chance at life, however the world as they know it has changed, and long gone are the days when they hunted in great numbers.

Prehistoric Lizardfolk are behemoths, ranging from the size of normal lizardfolk, to gargantuan nearing 10 feet tall, weighing in anywhere from 200 to nearly a thousand pounds, with some having features that give them a much taller reach. They range in all features and shapes, and have a wide variety in lifestyle. (Any sort of Dinosaur feature is acceptable) They are native originally to jungles, but are suited to almost any environment type, with some having natural features suited to such.
