These are simply stereotypes and there are many exceptions.Sandeaters live in some deserts. They have no hair and tan skin. Their oddity is cold flesh- they are always cold to the touch. Seminomadic, they hunt giant ants and other vermin and use both the flesh and exoskeletons. Wildscape introduced the idea of deserts with metallic bits instead of sand and the sandeaters might have colorful skin if they dwell in such.Rockhunters live in soil and rock deserts. They have curving horns over the head and brown, diamond shaped scales.Marshtreaders have longer arms and spiney skin. Hunting among cattails or other tall grasses, they are very adept fishermen.Saltbreathers are sailors with silver hair. They have 3 bones in their forearms and below the knee and those are broader because of this. Initially I was thinking of reducing breaks due to ship board accidents, but that didn't make any sense but I want to leave it anyways. Any other suggestions for people who live their entire lives at sea?Grass ghosts are ambush hunters in tall grass with rough, almost scaly skin meant to reduce skin cuts. They are not treated well by other plains dwellers because of their appearance and raiding activities.Roachmen are scavengers that live in giant caves and dragon lairs. Since they keep down the other vermin, they are not exterminated (they may be controlled, but rarely to the point of local extinction). They are small and very pale and usually live in the worst conditions. On fear of something worse, real or imagined, kept their ancestors from fleeing.</blockquote>
