One of the more uncommon Saurians, Nightscales are amongst the weakest of the Saurians, with their only special traits being their magic resistance and ability to blend in with the environment.

The entirety of their body, except for the chest and other parts used to pleasure their husbands, are covered in scales which change color to mimic the area around them. These scales are a centerpiece of their method for finding husbands.

Before they find a mate these Saurian Monsters are known to go out of their way to inconvenience those around them and insult others. No one really knows why exactly this is, though it is theorized that it is a curse placed upon them for failing to protect a city holy to them, Yaksha.

However, all of this typically ends when they go husband hunting. They leave their homes to find well traveled roads and lie in wait, from anywhere between a day and half a year. Only moving from their spot to eat nearby wildlife. Typically they can spot a human man and will pounce on him during these periods, after which they will ravage him for anywhere from hours to days, only stopping to feed her new mate, or if he becomes to exhausted to continue.

Should they fail however they grow even more unpleasant, making it their duty to make everyone around them miserable. In the other hand, when they succeed they have a complete change in personality, now going out of their way to be kind and help others. They also have a nearly impossible to remove cheerful smile.

They are rather intelligent, being smarter then most other common species of Saurian, like their close cousin, the Darter.

Should they be spotted whilst preparing for their ambush, they will freeze up in surprise and run away. Typically they will berate themselves for being spotted and return home, becoming quiet and gloomy. However they will soon make another attempt.

Should a man approach with the intent of marrying them they will ridicule the man repeatedly, a strange test to make sure that the man actually longs for her. Should be pass this "Test." She will most likely start to cry tears of joy and bring him to her home. Once their she will lovingly have intercourse, doing anything the man asks to please him.

Their scales color changing takes only a minute to change perfectly, though it can be done faster, but with more mistakes, such as colors being off.

They typically lay clutches of 4-12 eggs every 4 months, which means they can lay anywhere between 12 and 36 eggs every year. It has been noted that Nightscales will treat their family respectfully regardless of whether or not they are married.
