Troglodytes are closely related to Lizardmen, whom they resemble in all but size and for whom they often act as warriors and guards. Although they are rarer than Lizardmen, Troglodytes are greatly feared and are formidable opponents, often being employed as 'shock troops' by the Lizardmen. They are extremely stupid and, therefore, do not rise to positions of leadership within Lizardmen communities. They have no appreciation of tactics in a battle and are simply pointed at the enemy and told to kill. Frequently, they even fail to notice when an opponent is dead, mindlessly continuing to beat and rip a corpse for some time after it has ceased to put up any resistance. Troglodytes emit a noxious stench, which is repulsive to non-reptilians, and speak a dialect of the same sibilant tongue as Lizardmen.
Physique[]
Troglodytes are over ten feet tall, but otherwise identical to Lizardmen. They are well-muscled, with typical reptilian scaled heads and broad tails. Scale colours vary in the same way as the smaller Lizardmen, greens being the most common.
Alignment[]
Psychological Traits[]
Troglodytes are subject to stupidity, and when one kills an opponent, it must make an Int test or fail to notice that its victim is dead; it will then continue to attack the corpse, testing on Int every round and only stopping when a test is finally passed. Troglodytes also cause fear in living creatures under ten feet tall.
Special Rules[]
Troglodytes have tough skins, which count as one point of armour all over their bodies. Their nauseating stench affects all non-reptilian creatures fighting them, giving their opponents a 10% penalty to WS. Troglodytes have Night Vision to a range of 30 yards.
