Template:!Species InfoboxLacertians 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 rational, and are guided by practical gains, displaying well-developed self control. 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. 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
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. their digitigrade feet support an often hunched posture. A gene determines whether an individual has hunched or straight posture.
Behavior
Lacertians are intelligent, but they are unable to fathom behavior that seems counter-intuitive. Lacertian philosophy is strongly rooted in Game Theory. The best way to hide a plan from a Lacertian is to misrepresent the end goal.
Social
Lacertians interact with one another often, sharing solutions to each other's problems and exchanging opinions. Lacertians enjoy bantering with others and sharing opinions. When stressed or upset they blow off steam by performing martial arts. They usually remain civil in these activities.
Lacertians live on their own for most of their lives. They are only children for about 20 years before they can live on their own. They tend to interact with each other outside of their living areas.
Combat and Martial Arts
When Lacertians fight, 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 applying a combat technique, 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, and so Lacertians developed different forms of energy. Because of this they do not cause large amounts of carbon pollution.
