Lacertians are an intelligent species in Lowiras. They are not widespread, with only ~1.185 trillion individuals. Their homeworld is Calyion, and the Zopoque, the dominant nation of the Lacertians, formed there. They are bureaucratic and obsessed with efficiency. They are reluctant to fight but not unwilling, and so their relationship with other nations depends on the possible spoils of peace or war.
Anatomy
Internal
Lacertians have a slow metabolism. Their bodies and minds run at a slower rate than other species. As a result, they have a high natural lifespan and see many other species to be fast and ephemeral. Some cybernetic augmentations are used to help process the higher speeds of smaller creatures. Their stomachs are proportionally small, with large, slow beating hearts. They have internal ears and optic nerves that do not cross. Because their left hemisphere tends to be dominant and controls the left side of the body, most Lacertians are left handed.
External
Lacertians are reptilian creatures. They have 4 fingers on each hand and 5 on each foot. They have eyes that are commonly orange, blue, or black and scales that are commonly green, light blue, or pale orange. Their arms and legs are long compared to their torsos.
Behavior
Lacertians are focused on efficiency. However, every day of work is logged, managed, and tracked when possible. Lacertian culture may lead to repetitive life due to the prioritization of efficiency and bureaucracy. Anything that might require record is recorded. Almost every interpersonal decision includes a contract.
Social
Lacertians interact with one another often, as every job is done collectively. When stressed or upset they blow off steam with friendly fights. They usually remain civil in these activities because an injury or grudge would bloat everybody's lives with Dispute Forms.
Lacertians live on their own for most of their lives. They are only children for about 20 years before they can live alone. They live private lives due to the fact that all work is monitored, logged, managed, and usually involves some sort of paperwork.
Combat and Martial Arts
When Lacertians fight on even ground, they are either fighting for fun or absolutely cornered. They employ combat techniques enabled by their body structure. Using claw sheaths, Lacertians can engage in safe, sporting combat.
Death Roll
A common tactic among Lacertians is to grab their opponent using claw and fang to get a strong grip before whirling around as fast as possible. This tactic is not effective against other Lacertians but it is effective against prey animals and less flexible opponents.
Spacing
Lacertians can use their long arms to scratch a target from a distance. This leaves much less of their body vulnerable compared to many other bipedal creatures.
Leap
Due to their leg and foot structure, Lacertians can leap long distances. They can jump ~20 meters far with a running start or ~5 meters high. With no running start they can jump half the distance.
Ecology
Lacertians' diet on Calyion consists of grasses and flowers to fulfill their need for fiber and blubbery and furry animals as a source of protein and iron. In primitive times they would hunt by staying still until an animal wandered within their large reach before attacking, but in modern times they have domesticated animals as beasts of burden and food.
Calyion does not have the environment for large amounts oil or coal to form, so Lacertians do not use many fossil fuels.
