A male Arctic Lizardfolk Stands at about 7ft tall, weighing around 300 pounds, with a hide ranging from light gray to medium gray. Female Arctic Lizardfolk stand at around 6ft, weigh around 230 pounds, and have hides that range from snow white to light gray.

Relations

Arctic Lizardfolk trade with Frostfolk, and get along well with them. Both respect each others power, and form alliances in times of trouble. The same can not be said for Nethanderal, who often attempt to corner a lone Arctic Lizardfolk and kill it for meat. In return, Nethanderal camps are pillaged and looted, and Nethaderal are sold to the frequent passing Neogi trails as slaves. Arctic Lizardfolk usually live far away from civilization, and do not deal with dwarves or humans. The aid the occasional Frost Elf only out of respect for their love for nature.
