Monster Monday: Lizardling Knight of Tarakona
The savage continent of Tarakona, where draconic races battle for supremacy!

Monster Monday: Lizardling Archer of Tarakona
The savage continent of Tarakona, where draconic races battle for supremacy! What the lizardling empire lacks in creativity it makes up for in training. Its archers can do terrible damage with their short bows. This is important, as they’re trained to maneuver around the rear of the battlefield and do damage from afar. A single good hit … Continue reading
Monster Monday: Lizardling Trooper of Tarakona
The savage continent of Tarakona, where draconic races battle for supremacy! What the lizardling empire lacks in creativity it makes up for in training.

Monster Monday: Kala Archer of Tarakona
The savage continent of Tarakona, where draconic races battle for supremacy! The fearsome, combative, plains-dwelling Kala people (think lizardfolk) use well-trained archers to overwhelm enemies from the back line.

Monster Monday: Kala Warrior of Tarakona
The savage continent of Tarakona, where draconic races battle for supremacy! The fearsome, combative, plains-dwelling Kala people (think lizardfolk) pride themselves on their fierce warriors, who wade into battle and gang up on the most powerful enemy.
