Xiati-Reptilian

Xiati-Reptilians are members of the multi-species Xiati race. They were easily the most aggressive of the six species, which shared a genetic ancestry.

Biology
Xiati-Reptilian faces are scaly and highly textured, including many small wrinkles and ridges. The Reptilians have yellow to brown-colored scales with multiple spikes coming out of their heads and little tusks, one on either side of the face, protruding from close to the mouth. They have yellow eyes with slitted vertical pupils, and were cold blooded. Like other Xiati, they had a characteristic facial feature, involving a small indentation and a series of little bumps on their cheek bones. They also were stronger and had greater stamina than Humans.

Culture
While the Reptilians can appreciate various forms of artistic expression they prefer to engage in physical contests. Activities that test their abilities and push them to their limits. As a result they enjoy a large variety of competitive physical activities.

From the moment they are born they are aggressive, combative and violent. They have to be watched and controlled or they will attack each other. Organized physical activities that seek to give a safe avenue for venting these aggressive tendencies are necessary.

As they get older the need to participate in these activities is slowly replaced by the desire to participate in the same kind of activities as a form of relaxation and for enjoyment.

Religion
Like the other races, the Reptilians worship deities known as the Guardians.
