Reptiloids, also known as Homo dromaeosauris (meaning "dromaeosaurus man"), Homo reptilicus, Homo reptilia, Saurians, or more commonly as reptile people, are a shapeshifting species of reptilian humanoids that followed a completely separate evolutionary path from humans. While Homo sapiens evolved from early primates and mammals, Reptiloids descended from dromaeosaurs—an intelligent, pack-hunting group of theropod dinosaurs that survived the mass extinction event 66 million years ago.
Contrary to popular conspiracy theories, Reptiloids are not bent on world domination or human subjugation. Rather, they seek peaceful coexistence with humans and oppose any global conflicts between the two species.
Jacco's paternal grandmother is a Reptiloid. So, Jacco's father is a human-Reptiloid hybrid. This makes Jacco and his younger sister, Eden, three-quarters human and one-quarter Reptiloid.
More Information
They were inspired by the lizard people conspiracy theories, Septarian from Star vs. The Forces of Evil, and Silurians from Doctor Who. No, Mark Zuckerberg isn't a Reptiloid, he is a robot, duh.
They possess impressive shapeshifting and regenerative abilities, as well as enhanced physical abilities.
They are ovoviviparous. Like some modern reptiles and sharks, Reptiloids form eggs internally, but the young are born live after hatching inside the body.
When emotionally stressed, they may lose control of their disguise and momentarily reveal scales, fangs, or slit pupils.
They have their own language, composed of hisses, clicks, and vocal inflections, though most speak fluent human languages.
They live both among humanity and underground in their cities.
