Zuths:

The reptilian zuths are an ancient people, one of the constituent races of the bygone Istax Empire. They are built somewhat like kentaurs, having a quadrupedal lower body and an upright chest; neither portion is in any way human, however, a zuth being entirely covered in thick, glossy dark green scales and having a dragon-like head. To this picture add the zuth's powerful musculature, formidable claws and teeth, and tremendous size, and one may see how the species easily filled the role of heavy cavalry and construction worker for the Istax Empire for centuries.

Like the dracon, the zuth people withdrew and became insular after the fall of Istax, but avoided the decline into barbarism which befell the sleestak. Their lifespans are long, often more than eight hundred years, and like many with such longevity, they learn from new experience rather slowly. They possess a modicum of nightvision. Their native language is Xhax, and they usually know a bit of the Istax tongue Assarith.
