Trodon

Trodon are a reptilian race Indigenous to Annuk'ha.

Anatomy

They are usually about 6 feet high and 10 feet long. They have light brown scaled bodies and a pronounced tan beak. They usually have dusty brown feathers on their forehead and around their claws. They do not stand entirely upright, leaning forward and keeping balance with their tail. They primarily use their beaks to handle tools and comodities, but often use their legs as well, and occassionally use their arms.

Breeding

Their genetalia are unexposed. Male genetalia appear breifly to perform erection, penetration, and ejaculation in a single, swift act, though they can be stimulated to ejaculate without penetration.

They usually mate after meals, since they gather communally to eat and enter a kind of sleepy lull afterwards, their courtship usually consists of the male sluggishly approaching a female and then darting his tongue at various points of the females body of the course of several hours. If he detects the female is ovulating by tasting her urine or skin, he will then mount her.

They generally do not form family units and are not monogamous, eggs and the children that hatch from them being raised communally.

A Trodon and Naga can breed to make a Quetzal.

Diet 

While the Annuk execute their ill and criminals to be feed the urban Trodon population, their primary souce of food comes from the cattle and goats which various caravans herd across the dessert and plains. Their agriculture is generally limited to animal feed and spices used in preparing meat.

Life and Culture

Since they are cold blooded, they have to spend several hours or the day basking in the sun or the shade to regulate body temperature.

In battle, they are often well armored, their primary weapon besides their teeth and claws being a metal spike on their beak, they have sophisticated atilery machines, and often use landmines in large conflicts.

Though the Trodon and Annuk have been enemies historically, they are on amicable terms. Unlike the Annuk, Trodon will trade with the Naga, generally viewing assaults as the responsibility of the individual bandits and refrain from making categorical generalizations.
