The Desert Skirdge are a race of lizard like humanoids that have adapted to the parched deserts and wastelands of the world. They are quick, fearless, ruthless, and greatly feared by the people of the desert. Desert Skirdge attack with overwhelming numbers, primarily for the flesh of camels and horses ( Feeding only on the soft innards within ), but at times have been known to feast on humanoids in the same manner. Desert Skirdge will at times negotiate with travellers, offering safe passage in return for a few camels, horses, livestock, or even sick and wounded humanoids. Desert Skirdge do not seem to value treasure, although they seem to prize magical items.
