Saurians

Saurians are humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex. They are mostly found in tropical climates where the heat and the humidity allows them to go with minimal clothing. They have mainly red scales and a short tail. They distrust humans, having forced many of their brothers to live underground. The Saurians of today are waiting for their turn to become ascendant. And with the Empire teetering on the edge of destruction they see this as their chance.

Phyiscal Description
Saurians are red scaled, have a saurian head, are warmblooded, and have a short tail. They are big brained and can do complex mathematics if they are available. They have a human body and can walk upright. They are descended from Tyrannosaurus Rex. Most stand around 5 ft. 11 in. And weigh around 180 pounds. Eyes range from gold, to brown, to green, to blue. Saurians are typically rare creatures, having most of their cousins been forced underground. Saurians eat meat, and they herd certain dinosaurs for their needs. Saurians in human lands eat beef, lamb, mutton, and chicken. They typically stay away from pigs because of religious considerations.

Society
Saurians live in tropical climates where they can go nude or wear minimal clothing. They enjoy humid climates but hate the winter. Although some saurians live in human lands, they typically avoid such because they feel more at home in the tropics. Saurians are hunters, and they often hunt dinosaurs. Although they will hunt wild cattle because they have gotten used to the taste of beef. Saurians will not eat pork as a rule because of religious considerations. Saurians do not worship dragons, they worship one god who they call Nwali. Christianity has penetrated their society however, and some saurians have converted to Christianity -- but they still won't eat pork.
