Vaxasaurians are very similar to dinosaurs. Their thick skin covered with scales, along with their large size and immense strength, resemble those beasts of the prehistoric era. However, these beings have a more humanoid form. Most are 3 meters tall; these would be the youngest specimens. The older a vaxasaurian is, the bigger it is. When they reach an advanced age, they have the size of a huge creature. But that is only the tip of the iceberg. Their physiology allows them to increase their size. They reach the next category, where their dinosaur features become much more noticeable. They grow stegosaurus plates on their backs, a crest on their foreheads, and spikes on their tails. Additionally, on their shoulders, three plates separate and grow, giving them a more ferocious appearance.
History[edit]
The vaxasaurian race was on the verge of extinction after a cosmic asteroid shower devastated their home planet, Terradino. But a certain galvan could not allow a species to become extinct, so with his great mind, he would give them a second chance. Having DNA samples from the vaxasaurians, the galvan decided to spread them throughout the universe in order to save them from extinction. One of those DNA samples was placed on Earth. That galvan was surprised at the great diversity that this world possessed. Undoubtedly, a place to study. The new vaxasaurians that will be born in this world will offer great learning through them. You will be able to see the greatness that this rock so full of life, called Earth, hides.
The vaxasaurians took their first steps in this world. That galvan chose the most suitable ecosystem for these new specimens to develop in a way most similar to how they did on their planet of origin. That place was called in the world as the wild land, a habitat that had vestiges of the prehistoric era. So, it could be said that this was a second home for the vaxasaurians. Unlike their primitive cousins, the vaxasaurians had greater intelligence. In their coexistence in the wild land, they formed their society. It was rigorous work due to how wild their home was, but they achieved their goal, becoming the alpha group of the wild, ruling their part of the wild.
After years, the vaxasaurians knew the world on the other side. Adventurers traveled to the wild land, and great was their surprise to see beasts similar to dinosaurs that saved them from being the dinner of hungry scavengers. And more when they could speak their language. The Galvan made sure that the common language was inscribed in their genetics in order to ensure understanding between other races. Surprise was for the world when these large reptiles traveled to their side of the world, with great curiosity to discover a new world, in their words. The vaxasaurians have been part of the full-fledged world, but the other races are still getting used to the large reptiles.
Society[edit]
The society of the vaxasaurians is governed in a savage way, due to their stay in the wild they got used to an experience where you must fight tooth and nail to survive, in short, they are not a society that has good manners, ah Yes, the larger someone has, it will define the respect of these large reptiles.

Enlargement. Vaxasaurian can be made to grow to twice their size, making their Jurassic traits more noticeable. You size doubles in all dimensions, and your weight is multiplied by eight. This growth increases its size by one category — from Medium to Large, for example. You cannot use this trait in a space that is smaller than double your size. You can maintain this enlarged form for 1 minute, during which your unarmed strikes deal damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier.

Unstoppable Charge. You can get into a running start position and let smoke out of your nose with a loud snort, moving like a rhinoceros forward.
