Shaaux is a Dragonborn Druid that specializes in poisons, venom, and acid as a means of both self defense and as a means to heal people and make some coin off of their plights. Abandoned by his birth parents in the middle of the Toxic Jungle, he was taken in by the native lizardfolk tribe and raised as one of their own. After being raised in the jungles, he eventually reach adulthood and decided to venture out into the world to learn about his original parents, as well as more about different poisons and other medicinal plants and concoctions that he might bring back to his village.
Besides the lizardfolks, Yuan-ti, and giants that lived in and around the jungle, he was taught to be very wary about outsiders and to always keep a laced dagger close at hand in case things ever got too dicey. He also has a natural affinity with communicating with animals, and has actually learned a lot about the native plants and what to eat and what to avoid, earning him the title of 'shaman' among his peers. However, he also discovered that he can naturally spit acid at others, and uses this to deter people.
His appearance is a mixture of mottled greens and browns, while his head has ridges along the top that give him a distinctive 'Dilophosaur' look to it. He wears fairly simple rags with some leather armor along his arms and chest, and carries a scimitar and shield with him, both gifts from a Yuan-ti family that he helped cure from dragon acid.
