Khaastas are a reptilian race native to the Outlands, where they are mercenaries and fighters who impose their will on others by force of arms. Nomadic by nature, Khaastas are bred for war and have an unusual talent for waging it.
Khaastas superficially resemble Lizardfolk, who some believe they descended from long ago, although other legends claim them to be creations of the demon prince Demogorgon. Whichever may be the truth, Khaastas are considerably larger, tougher, and more aggressive than normal lizardfolk.
