#shiyar

Finally got around to updating shiyar

Shiyar! 

LIZARDFOLK. There’s tribes on both Relnik and Veirdreg. The body structure pictured can vary somewhat (some shiyar are taller, shorter, wider, have whippier tails).

Scale patterns and coloration vary from tribe to tribe based on what best camouflage them, so greener and bluer shiyar are likely rainforest dwellers, browner ones are likely in the desert. Now and then, a shiyar will be born with much paler scales (very close to albinism) and these shiyar exist on a lower rung of society and are called Drek’ka Ma or Stricken, as it roughly translates.

There is very little sexual dimorphism between male and female. It can usually be noted that female shiyar are taller where males are wider, but that appears to be it. Shiyar possess spiny head and neck growths. This is not hair, though they do tend to decorate it with wrappings, loops and string. The spines react to stimuli and the longer they are allowed  to grow is suppose to dictate the prowess of a shiyar in battle. Sort of a cultural “come at me, bro”.
