A span of webbing connects the creature's arms to its  torso. It wears a leather harness holding a sparse collection of  crude items. Varkhas are subterranean relatives of lizardfolk.  These brutal, aquatic hunters prowl underground lakes and rivers for prey. Varkhas have a close-knit tribal society, led by a chief called a tssri. Most hunting parties are led by a sllith (hunt leader), while larger groups follow a gsssrat (master of the hunt).  The largest hunting parties or war bands, which can number 50  varkhas or more, are led by a gaakth (sub-chief) and always include a  shaman. Varkhas females make up about one-fourth of a tribe.  When not brooding   over eggs, females often join a hunting party.  Larger  varkha tribes  keep subterranean lizards as guardians.  Varkhas have many natural enemies, including troglodytes and drow.   Varkhas have a deep (and mutual) hatred for gibberlings and seize every  opportunity to attack them. A varkha lizardfolk is usually 4 to 5 feet tall with dark gray or deep   green scales. Its tail is used for balance and is 2 to 3 feet long. A   varkha can weigh from 60 to 125 pounds. Varkhas speak Draconic with a heavy gurgling accent. COMBATVarkhas mostly fight with their vicious claws. Some varkhas fashion  crude weapons from bones and sharpened rocks, usually missile weapons  they hurl at opponents before charging in to melee with their claws. Varkha hunting parties and war bands fight in well-coordinated groups  that make maximum use of their numbers to overwhelm their opponents,  concentrating their efforts on their most dangerous foes. Varkhas often  try to herd opponents into water, where their swimming ability helps  them outmaneuver terrestrial creatures.Hold Breath: A lizardfolk can hold its breath for a number of rounds equal to four times its Constitution score before it risks drowning.Light Sensitivity (Ex): Varkha are dazzled in bright sunlight or within the radius of a daylight spell. Skills: Because of their tails, varkha lizardfolk have a +4 racial bonus on Jump and Balance checks. A varkha has a +8 racial bonus on any Swim check to perform some special action or avoid a hazard. It can always choose to take 10 on a Swim check, even if distracted or endangered.
