They see the orge as a threat and act accordingly in this cast fight it but if they see a dragon they would retreat away from it.

Physical Description

Lizardfolk exhibit a wide range of height, weight, and physical power, depending on the circumstances of their birth and their desired station in life. They tend between six and seven feet tall, and are generally between 200 and 260 pounds. Their most common scale colors are green, brown, and blue.

Relations

The Lizardfolk and the sahuagin, when they meet, tend to not get along. The sahuagin rule the seas, and the Lizardfolk prefer to stick to marshy swamps near the coastlines. However, Lizardfolk are capable of living underwater and some do; when they do they come into constant strife with the territorial sahuagin empires.

Their relations with other races depend on the specific tribes and your campaign, as lizardfolk don't tend to any alignment.
