Being a strategic genius is not exactly a classic trait of any reptilians other than dragons.They don't have poison abilities. They don't swallow things. They don't have climb or burrow or swim speeds. They don't have a scary rattle. Because this is fiction of course they can do whatever they want, but it's like one of those "alien paleontology" things where you take a hippo skull and imagine it must be some kind of horrific predator instead of a big dorky monster with a chubby snoz. A succubus has bat wings, must be a bat demon, let's make them hairy and gangly with giant ears.Like I've said, I'm cool with them making mariliths more diverse, since their physical form frankly has very little to do with their function outside of the idea that six arms and a tail shows that they can handle seven problems at once. As long as the classic depiction* is prominent enough to carry forward instead of being functionally retconned, it's all good.* Not the classic OUTFIT, battle boobs are silly.</blockquote>
