Troglodytes are a tribal race of reptilians that make their lairs deep underground. They have infravision (90-ft range). They have an unnatural hatred of humans, and will attack them on sight. Some troglodytes attack with their claws and teeth, and some use weapons that they have taken in previous battles. They also have a special attack, once in combat they emit a sickening odour against which humans (as well as elves, half-elves, dwarfs, halflings, and gnomes) must save vs poison. If they fail, they lose 1 point of strength per round for 1d6 rounds. This effect lasts for 10 rounds after the last round it was active. Description: Troglodyte skin is normally a dark green colour. However, they have the ability to alter this colouration depending on the area around them (much like a chameleon). This ability allows them to surprise others on a 1-4. This surprise bonus does not work when they are emitting their odour. They have bony fins along their skulls, and dark reptilian eyes.
