Also known as the saurians, clavians are a race of extremely mistrustful, some may say paranoid, reptilian humanoids native to Nex-Earth. They generally don't like the foreign food or the culture, and are not particularly partial to its people either. Those clavians that do venture out, tend to be the extraordinarily worldly and adventurous, with their odd curiosity risking them becoming pariahs of their society.
Clavian's are non-avian dinosaurs of the clade Ornithischian, and of the clade Ornithopoda. All of this means that they are a bird-hipped, bipedal, egg-laying, warm- blooded reptile. The closest relative from Gul-Earth was Gasparinisaura cincosaltensis, compared to which, the clavian is considerably more upright, and with more dexterous hands.
Clavians have a waxy, scaly skin that is most commonly green, but can vary to a mustard colour or darker to brown, even black (although this is rare). One of the recurring fashions in clavian society has been to genetically change the scales to more exotic colours like red, white, blue and purple.
The clavian has digitigrade legs, somewhat like carnivorous mammals, this means that they walk on their toes, rather than the soles of their feet. The ball of the foot has evolved to be the equivalent of the ankle, and arch of the foot has become an additional articulation in the legs.
The tail of the clavian has a role to play in balance, but it is also a force weapon, when applied in a swinging action. It has been incorporated into most clavian martial arts.
