I believe I read somewhere that Todd Lockwood did occasionally "stat out" some of his artwork in Dragon.
Since an 18/00 Strength translates to a 3E score of 23, I'd suggest doing likewise for the Dexterity of the krolli. By the same guide, its 18/89 Strength should become 21 in 3E.
"Acute senses: surprised only on a 1" would seem to translate to high Spot and Listen skills (and possibly racial bonuses) and the Alertness feat (possibly as a bonus feat).
Krolli Characters
Most krolli are fighters, and fighter is their favored class. Krolli clerics are also common, and they have access to two of the following domains: X, X, or X. Few krolli become rogues.
Krolli speak Common and Draconic.

i don't want to clutter up the boards by adding too many pictures, but i don't mind doing it for some of the less familiar ones. you'll see from this pic that krolli are very different in appearance from ingundi. and from lizardfolk. 
so, you think this "todd lockwood" is our boy, with 20 years less experience at drawing?
