Tricinoids (3.5e Race)

Tricinoids

Physical Description

The average Tricinoid or Trike as they are sometimes called, is between 8 and 12 feet tall, and weighs between 500 and 900 pounds. A Trike has scales, usually colored light tan, or a shade of orange ranging from a light almost white color to a rich warm firey kind of orange. One of the Trikes more striking features is that there eyes are completely and utterly blue, from the pupil to the "whites" of there eyes it is a rich royal blue color. In the dark a Trikes eyes glow a pale blue. The Trikes most distinguishing features is the ridge that sweeps back from there skull, the two large horns set above the eyes, and instead of a mouth they have a triceratops like beak.

Relations

The Trikes get along like second brother with Halfings, most likely due to the fact that Halflings and Trikes are both nomads of the Talenta plains. They get along well with Elves and Half-Elves, as they share a love of nature. Trikes feel uncomfortable around large groups of humans, but in small numbers they find humans most enjoyable company. Half-Orcs and Tricinoids can stand being around eachother, but both seem agitated and agressive.

Alignment

Tricinoids tend toward chaotic, and are usually chaotic good. Tricinoids that are evil are few and far between, but when one does show up, it is fear and terror inducing sight

Lands
