Betrayal and infighting were common occurrences. Their culture was one where the strong trampled on the weak, and the needs of an individual outweighed the needs of the group. While they were extremely rare outside the Chultan Peninsula, in 1372 DR they made up 4% of the population of Chult. Pterafolk were sometimes called the "hidden ones" along with ophidians, because they were not well-known and preferred to stay that way. Pterafolk liked to collect things valued by the communities near where they lived.
If they wore armor or used weapons-often barbed spears-they were custom-made to not interfere with flight.
Pterafolk did not wear clothing, except for belts and bandoliers for carrying small items. If the tribe was overseen by a spirit naga (see below), it might train up acolytes who could cast divine magic. Pterafolk distrusted magic, so spellcasters were very rare among them, and they would usually destroy any magical items they found as spoils. They were highly untrusting of anyone outside their own race. While not all lizardfolk were evil, it was generally agreed that pterafolk were cruel and vicious as a rule. They tended to only use such forms when they wanted to fly. Similar to how a yuan-ti could change its form at will into a snake, the pterafolk could "unfurl" a pair of eight-foot-long, leathery, webbed wings for flying or even take the form of a small pteranodon. Their arms and legs were thin and long, and their hands and feet bore sharp claws. They had smooth, fine scales, much like those of a snake, that ranged in color from forest-green to light shades of tan. At first glance, pterafolk in their natural forms looked like tail-less lizardfolk or saurials, but they were much taller and leaner and had elongated cranial crests like pteranodons.
