In Gardens of the Moon

While the source text doesn't specifically mention any 'Reptilian Denizens' in this section, it does detail a few interesting characters and encounters that might give you a feel for the world. For instance, you'll meet a Napan tutor who served Paran back in 1154 BS. Apparently, this tutor, like many other Napan folks, didn't show much respect. Paran also had an encounter with an Agent in Genabaris. This agent was described as having burly arms and small, narrow eyes, and he didn't take kindly to being shorter than Paran. Interestingly, Paran recalled this particular Claw seemed to like him, which is a bit unusual!

You'll also hear about Old Rockface, a name mentioned by Picker. Old Rockface apparently bet against Paran lasting more than two days. Some think this might be a nickname for Trotts, who is described as speaking in a monotone, which could suggest a lack of outward emotion, hence 'Rockface'.

Then there's the rather unsettling Gatekeeper that Paran met at Hood's Gate when he encountered Oponn. This gatekeeper was a shape-shifter, changing its appearance constantly – from a limping old woman to a child with drool, a deformed girl, a stunted Trell, and even a desiccated Tiste Andii. It had muddy yellow teeth, bones that shifted under creaking skin, and a glimmer in its eye sockets. It spoke with a quavering voice and seemed to hate its own cackled laugh, wishing for a deeper, more pleasant one.

Keep an eye out for three Hunters who chased Crokus Younghand through Darujhistan after they had killed T... (The source text cuts off here, so we don't get the full details of that encounter.)

Heads up: The provided text doesn't actually contain information about 'Reptilian Denizens'. It seems to be a list of unnamed characters from the Malazan series. If you were expecting specific info on reptilian enemies, you might need to check a different section or guide!
