Lizards with boobs?

Deal with it!

So I know you're thinking that it's absurd that a seven-foot-tall lizard somehow needs boobs, but deep in the fundamental heart of fictional biology there is a reason: I'm thinking that because of their matriarchal nature, the Phyllekians would be considered 'marsupial reptiles', meaning they don't actually lay eggs.

It's possible the fetus would initially develop in an egg, which would dissolve or break in utero at some point, similar to an embryonic sac, or something.

I don't know, I haven't really thought this out, but at the end of the day, they're fucking aliens. Deal with it.








Anyways, more developments:

Pictoran male, with size comparison

Pictorans hail from the cold and desolate Pictoris system, one of the few territories unconquered by the Phyllekians.

They are an extremely rugged and hostile race, and have formed an intense rivalry with Phyllek, refusing to submit to constant invasion and coveting of their natural resources.

Trophy

Pictoris is a male dominated society, females being veritable slaves and treated as objects with few rights. This will not stand in Phyllek's books.

Concepts to explore:
• War paint
• Guerilla warfare
• Trophies

Rather despondent-looking Human male, approx 6 feet tall

Yeah, there's going to be one or two humans in the series (Hubrix, for one), but very rarely will you see them out of disguise. Phyllekians abhor Terrans. This should cause some conflict, as Domina inevitably grows quite attached to Hubrix, having him constantly at her disposal and whatnot. (Hey hey...)

 The human race's role in the story should be mainly downplayed, I think, and shouldn't really be a deciding factor in any of the politics... at least not until an investigation into Hubrix's origin is declared by the Phyllekian senate.

(Oh yeah, that's right... I said 'senate'.)

God damn, I need a writer for this thing. Preferably someone with knowledge of Ancient Roman politics and herpetology.
