Trandoshans are fearsome reptilian hunters from the jungle world of Trandosha. Revered for their immense physical strength, regenerative biology, and unshakable dedication to the Jagannath Code, Trandoshans view life as a constant hunt for glory. Their society worships the Scorekeeper, a deity who tallies each individual's victories and setbacks in an invisible ledger that determines status in the afterlife. This spiritual competition fuels a relentless pursuit of honorable combat, trophy collection, and displays of dominance. Trandoshans are often seen as brutal by outsiders, but among their own, prowess and loyalty to oneβs clan or comrades are the highest virtues. They can regenerate lost limbs over time, making them durable foes who thrive in violent professions such as bounty hunting, mercenary work, or gladiatorial combat. Though naturally aggressive and intimidating, Trandoshans are not without code β dishonorable actions, like harming defenseless prey, are considered spiritual offenses that can cost a hunter dearly in the eyes of the Scorekeeper.
