The Orochi are a fairly rare variety of lizardfolk that evolved from snakes. Orochi stand at about 5’ 10” and usually weigh between 30 and 35 pounds. They have tails and black eyes. In their old age, orochi grow facial hair but young orochi with facial hair is unheard of. Orochi prefer tight, practical clothes that come off easily. Unlike members of most races, they prefer charismatic capabilities to displays of wealth. Orochi reach adulthood in their early twenties and generally live into their early 90s.
