Managed to finish an older thing I started on this summer.

Terribly sorry for my lack of activity, February-Mars has a lot of deadlines for school projects, I promise I will get more active once things calm down!

Anyway, the Krytt are the resident lizard-people. Most live in jungles and swamplands, hot and humid environments. The wetter the climate, the greener they get.
There are a few tribes that make their homes in drier areas, however. The Sand-Blood Tribe being the most well-known.
They are shorter and sturdier than most Krytt, and store most of their fat and water in their tail.
Any Krytt living in dry areas turn brown (Or grey, in some cases) and develop rougher hides and thicker scales. The trade-off is decreased mobility and slower healing.
The "Abrakka", or "Rough-Skin" subspecies of Krytt makes for the majority of Krytt in the Sand-Blood Tribe, and mobility was never their strong suit due to their naturally stocky frames and short legs.

They are barely tolerated by other tribes due to their willingness to not only trade with "warmbloods" such as Humans, but to cohabitate with them in their cities.
For the most part, the Krytt who live in cities form close-knit communities and do very little to assimilate. At the very least, they try to abstain from eating anyone. As the traditional Krytt currency is bone, government officials also have a hard time to get them to pay taxes.

Karka is a trader of curiosities. (Things she finds while going through people's garbage. Or homes.)
She knows that mammals fancy shiny things, but she does not know quite how they can tell what is and isn't valuable. Diamonds are shiny, but so is quartz. To Karka, they are pretty much the same.
Karka is not always this naked, this is mostly to show off her physiology for future reference.

She is also an informant to a much meaner Krytt male named Pekka. (fav.me/dd762mw )
Pekka is a mean, ill-tempered brute who gleefully demonstrates his violently anti-social behavior at any opportunity.
This makes him excellent mating-material, and Karka hopes that one day she will impress him enough to be chosen to carry his spawn.
Krytt have no concept of "romance". The closest thing to chivalry in Krytt culture is that any male who willingly hurts a female badly enough gets eaten by the other males. Damage a Krytt egg and they won't even eat your body, as such an an unholy act "taints the meat". It is also a great way to get even the normally less aggressive females to go for your throat.

tl;dr: Lizards with poor people skills.
