Lizal (species)

Source

Lizal, or lizalfos, is a broad and varied race of reptilian humanoids. Although they are practically as intelligent as hylians, lizal are callously heartless, and come off as alien and uncanny to outsiders. Lizalfos consider all races other than their own—and occasionally blins—to be either their natural enemies, or resources to be exploited.

Character details

 Alignment. Lizalfos as a whole have a strong tendency towards evil. Daira are inherently chaotic, while geru are relatively orderly, and most other lizalfos fall somewhere between.
 Age. A lizalfos reaches adulthood in at most 10 years. Rarely does one live beyond the age of 50.
 Diet. Although lizalfos are carnivorous, they are particularly fond of insects. As a Medium humanoid, each day you require at least 1 pound of food and 1 gallon of water to avoid exhaustion.

This benefit lasts until the creature restores any heart points, drops to 0 heart points, or you use your Blood Frenzy on another creature.
