Laguz, Dragon (3.5e Race)

Laguz, Dragon

Personality

Due to their nature, Laguz are naturally suspicious of those around them; no one in any society accepts them once they find out the true nature of these individuals. Due to the prevalence of other hostile shape shifting creatures, humans are uneasy around them even if they are obviously good. Dragons are offended by their very existence and seek to wipe them out wherever they spring up.

Physical Description

A Laguz can take on 1 of 2 forms at any given time. The Humanoid form and Creature form.

The Humanoid form is just that, the normal appearance and abilities of any Humanoid race. Outwardly there is no difference from the humanoid creature or giant than any other individual of that society.

The dragon form resembles that of a normal dragon though they tend to be noticeably smaller than their true dragon cousins; Laguz also have issues fitting in with other dragons due to differences in social customs and behaviors. In the event that a Laguz was forced to pass as a dragon for a period of time it would be likely that observation would reveal the true nature of the creature in a short span of time (gather knowledge DC 20 every 2 weeks.)

Relations

Relations for Laguz are often strained for a number of reasons. The first and foremost is almost every Dragon Laguz that is encountered will be female - the race practices patricide which is the killing of all male individuals. Second dragons will kill them on sight and even if they get solid rumors will occasionally hunt for these individuals to remove them from the world. Finally whenever the individual resorts to a form that is not common the community he is in for regular people will shun him under the belief that he is dangerous.

Alignment

Laguz are capable of sustaining any alignment.

Lands

The safest places for the Laguz are those that are mostly uninhabitable or desolate. This is due to the natural reaction to seeing a Laguz change from one form to another. Because the nature of most creatures who change shape is considered dangerous or often intimidating to humans, they tend to prefer areas where it's difficult for them to inhabit. Additionally, they tend to reside far away from large mountainous regions or incredibly desolate climates due to being chastised by most true dragons.

gollark: Something like that?

gollark: I think that's actually network lag, actually.

gollark: Probably garbage collection since it doesn't have much RAM to use.

gollark: It *does* look like it's using a lot of the server's CPU, unfortunately.

gollark: Server or client lag?
