Apperance: Shreen are a shapechanging race with two forms:
a alligator-like lizard or human sized man-lizard
hybrid. Its skin constantly changes color to match
its background.
Combat: Shreen can shift between the two forms as will,
taking one round to change. Only in humanoid form
can they be hit by nonmagical weapons. They usually
enter combat in lizard form, where they attack with a
bite and two claws, and when in humanoid form they
usually attack with axes, short swords, or other small
bladed weapons. Their constant, involuntary camoflauge
gives them a -3 bonus to suprise at all times.
Habitat/Society: Shreen have a nomadic society, with few
belongings. Malicious by nature, their idea of fun is
killing, torturing, or frightening others. Occasionally
they have been known to interact with civilized societies,
but only when it is to their benefit.
Ecology: Shreen are a type of mutated lizard from the time of
troubles in the Forgotten Realms. They usually prey on
herd animals or sometimes unlucky humans or humanoids.
