Reactions Parry.

     The reptilian dinolfos or dynalfos towers a good foot over most other humanoids, even while hunched over. Its scales are a deep green color, with accents of brown and pale yellow. Distinctly among its lizal kin, an array of thorny spines run from its scalp down its back to the tip of its tail.
     Prestegious Brutes. The dinolfos subrace is often considered among lizal race to be of the highest status. They are physically powerful, of greater size than most, relatively intelligent, and even wield the rare capability to exhale fire. Usually, only rare mutants like dark dinolfos can hope to exceed the prestige a dinolfos has over its kin.
     Prowlers of Marshes and Magma. Dinolfos generally prefer hot environments, seemingly due to their cold-blooded nature, and possibly related to their fiery breath. They seem to equally prefer tropic jungles alongside geru, and arid deserts among electric lizalfos.
     Humanoid Hunters. To a dinolfos, mammalian humanoids are considered little more than meat—prey it would attack on sight, even if it isn’t hungry. Infamously, a dinolfos has been known to literally roast and consume hylian children with its fiery breath.
     Environment: Desert, Hills, Ruins, Volcanic
