<br />
As tall as a typical human, the humanoid reptilian hisskra shares many characteristics with mankind. A long snout filled with an array of sharp teeth dominates the hisskra's facial features, giving him the appearance of a bipedal, ruby-crested iguana. Well-defined pectorals and a muscular torso are nearly man-like, but for the dull, dark green scales that fade to a paler shade at the throat, and the ridge of boney, red-tinged spines that runs from between the hisskra chieftain's shoulder blades to the tip of his five-foot tail. The hisskra's muscular limbs end in thick-fingered, partially-webbed hands and feet tipped with blackened claws, which are formidable weapons should the creature lose his more civilized martial implements. A glint of cunning is revealed in the depths of the hisskra chieftain's eyes as he peers about, his tongue flicking over his scaly lips.<br />
<br />
==Hunting strategies==<br />
<br />
Like the other [[Hisskra]], the chieftains are protected by thick, scaly, plates. A physical swing can be negated by this armor or can even jar a weapon loose. This can be a devastating problem if there are other hisskra present. It is often advised to use throw away weapons and have them [[Elemental Blade (411)|e-bladed]]. Hisskra, and the chieftains are no exception, actually will work together and drag off stunned or prone allies to safety. The chieftans are tougher versions of the [[hisskra warrior|warriors]] and carry similar armaments including the ubiquitous slime-covered [[trident]]. In addition to their physical prowess, the chieftains can draw out a blow-gun and hit their opponents with a small poison-tipped dart. The poison can cause dizziness ([[RT]]), lethargy ([[slow]]), and even put the opponent into a prone stance.<br />
<br />
Their thick scaly hide, however, makes small weapons and arrows a difficult prospect (even for like-level ambushers). Spell-casters must be wary of the hisskra tail-sweep maneuver, which can put you on the ground. By themselves, the chieftains don't put up much of a challenge, but combined with their brethren they can leave you dead with a weapon/runestaff on the ground.<br />
