Source: Unearthed Arcana 53 - Races of Ravnica
Many reptiles derive their body warmth and energy from the sun, but the humanoid viashino are fueled by an inner fire of zeal. Open with their emotions, viashino can be hot-tempered, but they are also quick to their hissing laughter, and they easily form close bonds of friendship. They are fierce warriors and passionate advocates for their guilds and causes.
