History:
The Poison Dusks were a tribe and small subrace of lizardfolk dwelling in the Vast Swamp of Cormyr.

A poison dusk was a humanoid reptilian, resembling other lizardfolk but much smaller, standing 3–4 feet (0.9–1.2
meters) tall and weighing 42–52 pounds (19–23 kilograms), with a lean and wiry frame. Its tail was 2–3 feet (0.6–0.9
meters) long. It had bigger eyes than other lizardfolk did, and these reflected light, indicating their ability to see in
limited light. Males had a leathery crest running down the backs of their heads. It had claws and fangs like regular
lizardfolk.

Uniquely, the scales of a poison dusk shifted in color for the purposes of camouflage (matching the hue of their
surroundings) or to indicate mood.

Poison Dusks were somewhat smarter and more dedicated compared to most other lizardfolk, and much more
cunning. They preferred to avoid physical conflict, instead attacking through indirect means—if opposing
a human village, they might poison the water or food supplies rather than attacking openly. However, they were just
as dangerous if provoked.

On a male, the crest would rise or lay flat according to their mood. Poison Dusks were apt to laugh if a target was
incapacitated by their poison. They usually described as furtive in the demeanor.

The Poison Dusk tribe was somewhat smaller than a typical lizardfolk tribe, numbering around 20 to 40 members,
but was organized much the same.
Many Poison Dusks were rangers, thanks to their dedication, and the most capable earned the respect of their kin.
Such Poison Dusks became leaders, beginning with squads and patrols and later of the whole community.
The Poison Dusks spoke Draconic, while the smarter ones knew the Common tongue.
