A Lerini is a lizard-like humanoid dwelling in swamps and warm, wet forests. It stands 4 to 5 feet tall, weighs 60 to 100 pounds, and has a thick, muscular tail measuring 2 to 3 feet in length. Its skin is covered with soft scales of green, bluish-green, or yellowish-green color. Its eyes are large and its hair is thick and oily. A lerini tends to wear loosely-fitting robes or gowns that don’t interfere with its tail’s mobility.
A lerini is an avid swimmer, and can hold its breath up to 10 minutes. A lerini tends to go fishing or hunting in small, fast river-boats. It has its own tongue, but many also speak the language of lizard-men and sometimes other swamp-dwelling beings. A lerini is not necessarily aggressive, but will fight to defend itself.
