When a downtrodden street-dweller uncovers an underground humanoid-reptilian race’s conspiracy to enslave humanity, he risks his own life to protect that of an innocent little boy.
That's great food for thought. I pictured the reptilian leader as a huge, mythical snake that's embedded in the deepest chamber of the sewer system - one that's so grotesque and nasty it strikes at its human sacrificial offerings and bites their heads clean off.

This everyday hobo would have to overcome his fear of snakes to kill it.
This idea is much less well-drawn than your own (mirroring the hobo’s plight is really great), but seeing an oversized snake bite a human’s head off in one go just seems so poetic.

Adopted Axiom, this is getting closer to distilling your idea, but at the moment it still concentrates on explaining this fantasy world and its inhabitants.

This is the crux of your story (hopefully), and everything else, fantasy, sci-fi etc. is just trimmings.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the suggestions y'all. In my outline, the street-urchin was a victim of child-abuse, so his fixation for protecting an unknown innocent is his path toward absolution. However, it's hard to tie him and the child together, as no caring parent would generally let their four or five year oldRead more

However, it’s hard to tie him and the child together, as no caring parent would generally let their four or five year old hang out with a hobo, no matter how righteous he is.
