The Argonians were adapting rather nicely in the forests and marshes around the empire, there were tons of creatures referred to as danger beasts by the locals. Some were also found in Tamriel, such as what the natives called the repti-bull which the Argonians knew as the kagouti and the chomper which on Nirn was called the alit. Of course there were sometimes misunderstandings with the humans which sometimes led to fights, but the empire was the most aggressive towards them for reasons unknown. The tribes of some places saw the Argonians as nature spirits guarding the wilds. The inhabitants of one village left them offerings of food.

Night raid base (after death of Dr. Stylish).

Najenda was breathing Night Raid on their next mission.

Najenda:You probably heard by now about some strange sightings of reptilian people, right?

Leone:Yeah! who hasn't?

Lubbock:Their pretty creepy honestly.

Tatsumi:The sightings got so far they even made it to the area around my village, we would leave offerings out of respect and fear. Hell, the offerings would disappear overnight so they must be real!

Najenda:Well, real or not people are concerned enough that the empire sent hunting parties to search for them. Even the revolutionary army wants to find out whether they're hostile or not, that's were we come in. Today we will not do an assassination but instead we're doing an investigation into the most resent sighting, we will go to The Akuma Swamp.

Later in The Akuma Swamp.

The air manta landed and the members of Night Raid dismounted.

Najenda:Alright everyone split up we'll cover more ground that way, if you see anything suspicious report back.

With Chelsea.

Chelsea was walking through the swamp and wondered what the creatures might be like.

Chelsea:I wonder if they're aggressive savages or if they're more civilized.

With Akame.

Meanwhile Akame was searching until she spotted houses built from mud and strange trees with egg clutches near them.

Akame:I wonder what these are?

She was about to examine one of the eggs when a scaly hand grabbed her and pulled her underwater.

With Tatsumi.

Tatsumi was walking when he heard twigs breaking, he stopped and looked to see a group of Argonians were hunting a jackaleo.

Tatsumi:Wow, they look like danger beasts but smarter.

Little did Tatsumi realize an Argonian was standing right behind him.

before you say i'm portraying Argonians as savages, let me explain.

Akame got attacked because she was going to grab an egg, so it was perfectly rational.
