Another Repost from DA.


Name: Lamia
Disposition: Friendly, Greedy, Competitive
Threat Level: Low.

Lamias have become a fairly common sight in the Major Cities of the Civilized world. Their natural talent for crafting has made their goods sought after by many Nations who want to equip their soldiers with the best Equipment available. Indeed it is rumoured that their crafting abilitly surpasses that of Dwarves though the Dwarves have no comment on the matter. Lamias converted to civilized life rather quickly though not without a few odd side effects due to their mindset.
In the wild Lamias would only be able to eat on rare occasions whenever prey was abundant. Their metabolisms compensating for the lack of food. Though once they came to the cities and found themselves able to spend their newly acquired money on food Lamias started to rapidly associate their growing waists with status.
To civilized Lamias now ones status is measured by their wealth and how large they are. A Lamia will normaly wear their most valuable possesions on them at all times and they tend to choose to wear more revealing clothes to properly show of their higher status. Luckily due to their powerful lower bodies most Lamias can attain weights that would immobilise two legged creatures many times over.
Most people who live alongside Lamias are naturally a little confused by this behaviour though they are never to vocal about it. No sane Adventurter would ever insult a Lamia and risk being blacklisted from buying their products.
