Saurotaurans
The different species and sub-species of sentient beings in Felarya. From giants to tinies, and preys to predators. From the ingenious Humans, to the reclusive Majuras, the noble Sphinxes, the mysterious Nemesises, the peaceful Gerridis or the fierce Crimson Maidens.
Saurotaurans are a species of reptilian, spiked centaurs with a head similar to that of a crocodile, sharp claws, and a lizard tail. Their scaly skin is most often brown, orange, or dark green in color, acting as a natural camouflage in the swamp environment where they live. Their size ranges from 6 to 10 feet tall with a bulky body covered in hard scales. Saurotaurans can be surprisingly stealthy though, and combined with their keen senses and sharp vision, that makes them excellent hunters. They are amphibious creatures and live in small tribes. They form a sentient and rather crude species, with a language made of growls and snarls. They aren't the brightest people out there, but they are not easy to fool, seemingly possessing an uncanny ability to tell if a person is telling the truth or not. They use primitive weapons and tools like swords, bows, lances, and shields, and are known for their love of traps, such as holes in the ground, dead falls, and snares. With their bellicose and combative mindset and their great strength, they can present a danger to adventurers. Moreover, most of them are linked to swamp dryads, whom they worship and to whom they offer prisoners as sacrifices.
