Shocker lizard

Shocker lizards were magical beasts that possess the ability to produce electrical effects from their body.

Description
Shocker lizards tended to be small and blue in color.

Behavior
These creatures were largely similar to mundane lizards in attitude.

Combat
Shocker lizards preferred to be left alone. If an intruder entered their territory, the lizard warned off the intruder with a light stunning shock. If the intruder did not leave, the shocker lizard produced large, deadlier electrical discharges. Shocker lizards could work together to produce even more powerful discharges.

History
In 1374 DR, two shocker lizards in the Shadow Swamp on the Plane of Shadow followed a shambling mound back to its den in the Shadowscale Warren. The two species formed a mutualist relationship: they gained the shambler's protection and ate its leavings, while their electric shocks bolstered and healed the shambler.

Diet
Shocker lizards were a carnivorous species that typically preyed upon small animals, insects, and fish.

Habitats
In south Faerûn, shocker lizards could be found in the Forest of Amtar, around Lake Halruaa, in the Great Swamp of Rethild, and in the Lhespenbog.
