Monster Monday: Lizardling Knight of Tarakona

RPG Monsters Tarakona

Lizardling KnightThe savage continent of Tarakona, where draconic races battle for supremacy!

While the bureaucratic lizardling empire sends its well-trained units onto the battlefield in regimented rows and columns, the only wild cards on the field are the knights.

Knights are the smartest, most careful combatants in a lizardling army, carefully surveying their enemy for weak points and exploiting them. A knight will identify a dangerous enemy—particularly ranged spellcasters—and fire at it from range while closing, then switch to its sword and make two-handed attacks until its enemy drops to the ground.
