Typical Racial Characteristics
The Isska are a tribal race and know very little the world beyond their own existence. Their low-tech civilization is reflected in their rudimentary, piecemeal armors and weapons. Traditionally, both warriors and the more domestic members of the tribes will adorn themselves with assorted, multi-colored feathers and hides.
In the case of warriors, the lizardmen will thread together heavy pieces of wood or bone to create basic chest pieces, helms or leg and arm guards. Rarely are their entire bodies fully clad in armor. Isska hunters and warriors are highly skilled in the use of long, narrow spears used to impale fish or strike birds from the air.
Adult, male Isska are massive in size. The largest can stand near 8 feet tall, though their relaxed posture is slouched and lumbering. Males may also display brighter colors in their scales that darken and become less impressive with age.
Females are smaller in size, normally never exceeding 6 feet in height. They are thinner and have smaller eyes than their male counterparts. Often, female Isska will use feathered headdresses to mimic humanoid hair. Females are also prone to covering the entirety of their slender bodies in leather or cloth, as if displaying some form of modesty.
All Isska have four prehensile fingers on each hand, tapered into strong, sharp talons. Two thick toes adorn their feet in the front, with one pronounce appendage acting as the balancing heel. Their tales are long and thick, in most cases, extending to the ground and dragging behind them, though they are prehensile and can be used to inflict deadly wounds. The Isska are heavily scaled, with broad plates naturally decorated with rosettes of varying color and brilliancy.
