Azusan

Azusans are a reptilian species and one of the two sapient races native to the planet Tonclif IV, along with the Gormanians. They evolved in the eastern continent of Azusa.

Biology
Azusans are Human-sized reptilian bipeds which resemble theropod dinosaurs, with a horizontal body posture and a long stiff tail to balance out the forwardslung torso. They have claws on their hands, spikes on their tails, formidable teeth and a long forked tongue. They don't sweat, but pant when they're tired. Their diet is carnivorous.

Culture and society
Azusan attire consists of several belts, some used for holding itens, others for showing rank, and others purely decorative. They are enemies of the Gormanians.
