Swamp

"One day, the Swamp will engulf the world"

The home of lizard people and reptilians, the half-dragons, as they consider themselves to be, continuously growing bigger and more powerful through time and drinking dragon blood.

The lizard men are humans who develop very powerful and athletic bodies and refuse to live civilized, having a constant need of feeling free and natural. Being this reason given, they left their castles or farms matter the less which were them from and gone to live in the swamps. After a long period of time, also being forgotten by their urban fellows, friend or family, they become immune to the poisonous fungi which mutated them into lizard like people, they developed a very strong civilization. Some of them drank dragon blood, and become the strongest of them, often these were the kings. Weak reptiles which also drank dragon blood become powerful "half-dragons", as they have the same genes as dragons, dragon blood had a greater effect on these reptiles, more effective than on humans.

Associated colors: dark-pale green, blue and purple

Symbols: The Claw

Worship: all the dragons

Core philosophy: "Wait, grow strong, then ambush!"

Country / kingdom: The Forgotten Swamps

Capital city: Sri'Lewa

Creatures

Core

Serpent Fly - Dragon Fly


Serpent flies are insects mutated by the poisons of the swamp, very dangerous and even deadly, this poison kills most of them, but the most resilient of these insects mutate instead of dieing, thus becoming bigger and having venomous stings.
The Dragon Fly is the upgraded Serpent Fly.

Lurker - Twisted



Lurkers were once humans. This abominations were created by the swampmages with the rituals acknowledged by their spies send to steal formulae from the wizards. This formulae being lost or not stolen properly complete, spies write there something to compensate, to not be executed by the swampmages for not completing their tasks. Because the formulae are now altered the ritual is not perfect anymore, so the swampmages created foul things, little do they know they failed.
The Twisted is the upgraded Lurker.

Poisonous Striker - Venomous Striker



______________________________________________________________________

Elite

Carrion Creeper - Fungal Doom


Cockatrice - Basilisk




One night, some scary story said between some barbarians, "Once upon a time my grandfather's rooster escaped into the swamp, and never returned. He said the rooster got eaten by a snake, but the shaman of his time said the deep swamps are very mysterious and the rooster and the snake more likely merged together forming one creature rather then the snake to have eaten the rooster. Other elders said that this new formed creatures called Cockatrices which can pietrify an animal by stinging it with their poisonous tail , can mutate even more, if the cockatrice eats crocodile flesh and drinks dragon blood while full moon, he transforms again into a Basilisk, growing up to six legs and can expand his neck like some lizards when they attack. When they grow their necks, their eyes glow yellow and they can pietrify their foe." That same night that barbarians were found pietrified by a swamp scout.
The Basilisk is the upgraded Cockatrice.

Finned Lizard - Wyvern



Finned Lizards are normal reptilians that live in the swamp. At youth they have small dilated hands, and two legs, and a large fin on their back. Upon reaching maturity their hands expand, growing large and thin transforming into wings, becoming Wyverns.
The Wyvern is the upgraded Finned Lizard.

For me , a cockatrice is definite something related to a ...cock...something with feathers and such^^ If at all, I'd see it more related to basilisk than wyvern...

Cockatrice IS basilisk.
The traditional basilisk (greek) is a big, angry serpent with deadly gaze and breath. Cockatrice is the result of the first meeting with the basilisk lizard what the conquistadors seen as a mythical monster, with the power of walking on water and a ferocious gaze.

I think the Wyvern should have a swan neck, but that's just me (you know, like in H3 )

Actually, the Cockatrice basically always has been Wyvernish, the real debate was over the form of the Basilisk, which is either  almost a Cockatrice, or a wingless, 6/8 legged lizard, or on occasion, a dragon-headed serpent. The major difference is size, a Wyvern is usually seen as pretty huge, as compared to a Cockatrice, which was often the size of a cockerel.

I just loved this lizard faction! The best "reptile swamp" themed faction ever.
