Sakkhra

Sakkhra are a dinosaurian race that has grown humanoid. They are clearly intelligent and form one of the tribes of the valley of Eodon. Their physiology makes them very strong and far tougher (thanks to their scales) than other enemies of their height. Therefore it is best to avoid offending these warriors, or the adventurer has a fight at hand, that he/she cannot hope to win.

Lore
''The Sakkhra are a bipedal dinosaurian race. They stand some six to seven feet in height and weigh an average of about 150 pounds. And, though this statement will inevitably lead to consternation and mockery among my fellows in the scientific community, they have every appearance of being a sentient race, possessing language, the knowledge and ability to flake stone into weaponry, civilized customs, and the ability to learn and speak some of the human language of the valley. They seem to be an evolutionary offshoot of some bipedal carnosaur; my best guest places their ancestor in the family Dromaeosauridae. They feature cranial crests as, it would appear, warning mechanisms and secondary sexual characteristics, and the Domaeosauridae's distinctive sickle - claw on the lower legs is merely a vestige in the Sakkhra.''
