Both Snarks and Gorns are sentient reptiles. Gorns are from Star Trek of
course, but believe it or not there is a race of reptile people in a Marvel
Comic that are called Snarks! Go figure :)

I still think that any race that can fly, or even glide, is too prone to
munchkin abuse to allow a PC to play one. Of course others might fell
differently, but that is life.

Hmm, I was thinking Snarks and Boojums{tm}. I think I'm too old for this
crew.

Maybe. The 'concept' is good, but I think the execution is flawed.

Of course, the Snark was a Boojum, you know.
