Reptile People

Overview

Miskatonic seal ME-1920-X16/6456 binds this packet; duplicate citations must use slug `reptile-people`.

We would delete Reptile People if deletion worked; instead we classify, cross-link, and warn.

Antediluvian race of the Nameless City, not quite serpent folk.

Period attestation: hyperborean.

If the name appears in dreams three nights running, withdraw from the case and request audit.

Description

Winged ancestors in Arabian ruins; history older than humanity.

Sensory reports conflict in detail — scale, colour, limb count — yet agree that the phenomenon offends proportion.

Olfactory notes in depositions: salt, copper, wet stone, and organic sweetness like fruit fermenting in a closed room.

Historical Record

Distinct from Yoth serpent-people in American caves.

Post-1937 pastiche and game supplements multiplied references; the archive tags those layers expanded mythos unless a primary citation is supplied.

Cross-links at dossier foot should be treated as hypotheses, not as family trees carved in stone.

Field Observations

Do not engage alone; do not accept hospitality from hosts who show windows to other eras.

Submit Form Theta-9 if conversation turns to cities remembered only in sleep.

The Library holds primary text; this dossier holds orientation — never the reverse.

Archive Notes
