d100 Reptilian Mutation

This will be a set with my other mutation tables so i can have a gamut of genetic freaks and tainted blood lines. Reptilians are the older race, they held great power but have lost it. Most lizard men are degenerate mutants and barely sentient but able to build stone tools and even some make underwater crossbows. Ancient ones were different, there were many breeds and factions and alignments.

The greatest master plan of survival was hybridizing with humans in the long run but this might have been their decline also as many variant breeds couldn't unite or agree.

These could be used for yaun-ti and other variants of reptilian peoples.

Even elves and dwarves and other races might have some reptilian taint. Elves once mated with dragons with the gods and some fairies children have reptilian traits but elves usually shun them. Reptilian taint elves live in seclusion but might mate with humans from desperation.

Possible mutant types upcoming  include plant, insect, mechanoid, elemental, mineral and more.
