And the fact that they still have scales, mean that theyre reptilian of sorts.

Not necessarily. There are some examples of mammals with scales (armadillos and pangolins have two different approaches to it) and the rest of their body seems human-like, so there's no reason to be certain that scales mean they have reptilian traits.

Even if they do have "reptile scales", it's a surface layer over a mostly human base.
