Hey there folks! It feels like it’s been years since we had some good concept art to show off on the site, and we’re here now to make up for it.
Today, we’re pleased to bring you another collaboration we did with Luigiix. We’ve already seen the kaja and the avarian, so we’ve got feathers and fur. What do you think about scales?
The lagano is the umbrella term for any of Tellest’s various reptilian races. The most prevalent of them is the lizardfolk, which you’ll see Luigiix did for us here.
While they’re consistently placed on the “evil” side of the race spectrum, they’re also one of the ones that will usually surprise you. A little more cautious and thoughtful, the lagano can just as easily win out over aggression and come to an accord with just about any race, providing it lines up with their values. And with their views on religion and nature, they usually have the best interest of Tellest at least on their periphery as well.
Here we have the final version of the lagano male. You can see he wields a particularly threatening looking weapon. One of the other things the lagano are known for are their deadly poisons. This one clearly knows his stuff.
We’ll be back in a few weeks to share a look at his female counterpoint. In the meantime, relax, have fun, and enjoy all the fantasies your heart desires!

I have a suggestion for a possible race for your stories.
Carcata race
A humanoid griffin-like race, having a bird head and a feline body, unlike griffins they give live birth instead of laying eggs and they lack wings.
Culture
Their culture is based on a simple idea “being the best is not important, what really matters is that you should always do YOUR best”.
Abilities
Their physical attributes are really good, they are fast with very good agility and strength and a good resilience to damage, however their affinity with magic is limited.
Tecnology
In a medieval theme they are quite advanced, their fighters are fully clad in armor and either wields a polehammer or an anti-magic kite shield and a spear, their ranged units are equipped with mail armor, helmet and breastplate, they wield arbalests or longbows, their skirmishers wears gambeson and a helmet, they carry some javelins and a round shield.
Battle
While they do not resort to foul tactics like killing innocent civilians, they do not have problems using “dirty tricks” in a fight like throwing sand in the opponent’s eyes, in a friendly or sports competition they do abide to the rules.
I am all about this! If you would give me permission to use this race, I could totally see myself using these at some point in the future!
Sure go ahead! I hope you enjoy using them!
I forgot to mention, you probably noticed that, aside from doing THEIR best, their culture isn’t very defined, this was done on purpose so you could give your own personal touch on their cities(ex: certain cities could be very friendly to strangers while others could be more reserved).
