==Description==
Lizardfolk were semi-aquatic<ref name="tCBoH-p40"/> reptilian humanoids. Their skin was covered in scales and varied in color from dark green through to shades of brown and gray. Taller than humans and powerfully built, lizardfolk were often between 6 and 7 feet (1.8&ndash;2.1 m) tall and weighed between 200 and 250 pounds (90.7&ndash;113 kg).<ref name="RoF-p140"/><ref name="MM3.5e-p169" /> Lizardfolk had non-prehensile muscular tails that grew to three or four feet in length, and these were used for balance.<ref name="tCBoH-p40"/><ref name="MM3.5e-p169" /><ref name="RoF-p140"/> They also had sharp claws and teeth.<ref name="MM3.5e-p169" />

Although non-reptilians struggled to tell the difference between males and females, lizardfolk could easily distinguish themselves.<ref name="RoF-p140"/>

Lizardfolk had to keep their skin relatively moist and needed to wet their bodies regularly if they were in dry climates. For this reason they were particularity fearful of desert landscapes.<ref name="tCBoH-p42"/>

==Abilities==
Lizardfolk were strong and hardy beings, and their thick scaly hides protected against attack. They could hold their breaths far longer than humans could, up to twice as long as an equivalent human. This ability enabled them to operate underwater in their marshy homes.<ref name="RoF-p141"/><ref name="RoF-p142"/><ref name="MM3.5e-p169"/>

The lizardfolk's tails aided them in keeping their balance and in leaping, and made them particularly gifted swimmers.<ref name="MM3.5e-p169"/><ref name="tCBoH-p42">{{Cite book/The Complete Book of Humanoids|42}}</ref>

Lizardfolk were also noted to have [[darkvision]].<ref name="RoF-p141"/><ref group="note" name="darkvision"/>

==Personality==
Lizardfolk had no interest in money or jewels. They also did not much value accumulating knowledge if it was not practically useful. They largely valued things based on whether or not it was good to eat. If it was, it quickly got their attention; if not, it was ignored.<ref name="RoF-p141"/> Lizardfolk could often become distracted at the appearance of food, even if they were in combat.<ref name="tCBoH-p42"/> They were easier to parley with after a meal, and a hungry lizardfolk was completely obstreperous.<ref name="RoF-p142"/>

Lizardfolk could be highly dangerous when provoked.<ref name="MM3.5e-p169"/> However, they were not inherently [[evil]]; they were simply savage and had a hard time fitting in with the civilized world.<ref name="RoF-p141"/> Those that ventured into towns or cities were often alarmed, frightened, or offended by the environment.<ref name="tCBoH-p41">{{Cite book/The Complete Book of Humanoids|41}}</ref> Few tried to adapt, let alone assimilate into Faerûnian societies. Instead, they felt their part was to learn about "softskin" ways and in turn show them how "real people" lived.<ref name="RoF-p141"/><ref name="RoF-p142"/>

==Lifecycle==
Lizardfolk females laid clutches of eggs, from which their young hatched. The eggs were kept well protected in the tribe's lair.<ref name="RoF-p140"/> The life of a hatchling was especially hard.<ref name="RoF-p141"/> Lizardfolk reached maturity within five years of hatching.<ref name="RoF-p140"/>

As lizardfolk aged, their bodies slowed down. Most lizardfolk over the age of 60 spent their days laying on warm rocks in the sun.<ref name="RoF-p141"/> Although lizardfolk aged much the same and had a similar lifespan to [[human]]s—the oldest reached 80 years of age—it was rare for lizardfolk males to grow old as they usually died in combat long before.<ref name="RoF-p140"/> 

==Diet==
[[File:Lizardfolkkitchen.png|thumb|228x228px|Lizardfolk eating their favorite foods: meat, meat, and more meat.]]
{{quote|''Beware the lizardfolk, my friends, they too walk with a dark purpose these days, darker even than their usual love for human flesh to eat.''|[[Beriand]]<ref name="pool">{{Cite game/Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor}}</ref>}}
Lizardfolk were omnivorous, but strongly favored meat when they could get it.<ref name="MM3.5e-p169" /><ref name="RoF-p141"/> According to stories, to the lizardfolk, the most delicious meat was humanoid flesh, especially [[human]],<ref name="RoF-p141"/><ref name="MM3.5e-p169"/><ref name="MC1"/> but this claim was more-or-less unfounded. However, some tribes did consume captives and enemies slain in battle.<ref name="MM3.5e-p169"/> but more civilized tribes often resisted this craving.<ref name="tCBoH-p40"/>  Meanwhile, ritual cannibalism of deceased tribe-members was customary.<ref name="RoF-p141"/>

Lizardfolk were quick to consume anything that was edible. For this reason, lizardfolk never kept pets.<ref name="RoF-p142"/>

When hunters brought back prey, adult lizardfolk ate first, taking what they wished. The young were usually left with the scraps, and more often than not subsisted on edible plants foraged from around the tribe's lair.<ref name="RoF-p141"/>

==Combat==
[[File:Lizardfolkadventurer.png|thumb|246x246px|A lizardfolk, armed to the teeth.]]
Most lizardfolk had little interest in battle tactics or strategy, and they fought as a disorganized mass of individuals. Despite their impressive hunting skills, lizardfolk often relied on strength and weight of numbers in battle, and simply charged their foes head-on. At the most, they would try to push foes into water, where lizardfolk often enjoyed an advantage.<ref name="RoF-p141"/><ref name="MM3.5e-p169" />

However, if lizardfolk were being attacked or pursued, or their camps were in danger or their territory invaded, their hunting skills came to the fore and they laid traps, snares, and pitfalls. They organized ambushes and raided enemy supplies. The more advanced tribes attempted cleverer strategies and traps. A great many lizardfolk lairs were defended by traps.<ref name="RoF-p141"/><ref name="MM3.5e-p169"/>

==Society==
===Tribal Structure===
Lizardfolk gathered into tribes. A typical tribe might have 150 lizardfolk, with around 50 male, 50 female, and 50 hatchlings,<ref name="RoF-p141"/> Another might have only 30–60 adults, with half as many hatchlings and one tenth that number in unhatched eggs.<ref name="MM3.5e-p169"/><ref name="RoF-p141"/>

Lizardfolk society was patriarchal and leaders held their positions for their strength and power alone.<ref name="RoF-p141"/><ref name="MM3.5e-p169"/> Although challenges for leadership were rarely made, anyone in the tribe could try and seize power from the leader. This would leave the tribe unorganized and vulnerable until a new leader took charge or the old leader had reasserted their position.<ref name="RoF-p141"/> Lizardfolk leaders were most often [[barbarian]]s or even [[druid]]s. In a tribe, they would be assisted by two lieutenants.<ref name="MM3.5e-p169"/> Many skilled warriors were [[fighter]]s and barbarians.<ref name="RoF-p141"/>

Tribal shamans, meanwhile, were usually [[cleric]]s who worshiped [[Semuanya]]. Shamans rarely served as leaders, and by-and-large only offered advice.<ref name="MM3.5e-p169"/><ref name="RoF-p141"/>

Females in the tribes were responsible for hatching eggs, raising young, and maintaining the camp. All the females in the tribe would work together to raise the young. They monitored their hatchlings closely, as the young were difficult to handle and tended to wander off, away from camp and into the wilderness.<ref name="RoF-p141"/>

===Technology===
Lizardfolk fashioned primitive weaponry and tools from wood, stones, and plants they found in the wetlands. Lizardfolk preferred weapons they could fashion themselves from what was available, and so they tended to be simple and limited in variety. More advanced tribes made use of a wider range of weaponry and shields. Moreover, they would sometimes utilize weapons they found or stole; tribal leaders typically got to use items that had been stolen or bartered from other races.<ref name="RoF-p141"/><ref name="MM3.5e-p169" /><ref name="RoF-p142"/> The [[barbed dart]] was a weapon unique to the lizardfolk.<ref name="RoF-p142"/> However, their claws and teeth were often sufficient.<ref name="RoF-p141"/><ref name="MM3.5e-p169" />

Camps varied in style from tribe to tribe. The simplest were just damp leaves used for bedding, but more developed lizardfolk tribes built crude dwellings.<ref name="MM3.5e-p169"/><ref name="RoF-p141"/>

They did not keep animals as pets or mounts, but rarely a lizardfolk druid might employ their magic to charm a [[dinosaur]] and ride it into battle to awesome effect.<ref name="RoF-p142"/>

A species of giant gourds was staple of the [[Lizard Marsh]]. These enormous edible fruits were hollowed and dried out by the lizardfolk of the Marsh, making them into oversized containers, often bigger than an adult [[human]] in size. These gourds were painted, decorated, and used to store various liquids, such as fresh water, fermented alcohol, and small swimming snacks.<ref name="NWN">{{Cite game/Neverwinter Nights: Darkness over Daggerford}}</ref>

===Activities===
[[File:Lizardman 2e.png|thumb|''A lizardfolk wielding a [[polearm]] and a [[shield]].'']]
The lizardfolk had no traditions of farming, cultivation, or animal raising, so food was acquired through fishing, hunting, scavenging, or stealing. Those that dwelled near other humanoids raided their neighbors for food, supplies, and even slaves. The tribe's survival was its primary, or indeed, only concern. When they felt threatened, or when food shortages would lead to starvation, a tribe would do absolutely anything to guarantee its survival, even committing acts others would see as despicable.<ref name="RoF-p140"/><ref name="MM3.5e-p169"/>

Most lizardfolk were content to live their lives out in the swamps and marshes where they were born but, on occasion, some would venture outside their swampy homes to hunt bigger and more dangerous prey. Sometimes a lizardfolk even desired to know more about the outside world, but mostly to bring knowledge back to their leader. When they did so, lizardfolk rarely traveled alone. If they left the swamp, they would do so in pairs or groups of three. Lizardfolk feared that, without others of their own kind with them to remind them of who and what they were, they would lose their identity and be seduced by the ways of civilization and never come home again.<ref name="RoF-p141"/>

===Culture===
When a member of the tribe passed away, they were eaten by the others in a ceremonial wake. In this way, they became part of the tribe again, not just figuratively but literally.<ref name="RoF-p141"/>

===Language===
In addition to possessing [[Lizardfolk language|their own language]],<ref name="FRCS-p25">{{Cite book/Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting 2nd edition (revised)/A Grand Tour of the Realms|25}}</ref> Lizardfolk commonly spoke [[Draconic language|Draconic]] and smarter individuals sometimes learned bits of [[Common]]. Depending on where they lived, lizardfolk might learn other languages like [[Dwarven]], [[Elven]], [[Gnoll language|Gnoll]], [[Goblin language|Goblin]], [[Orc language|Orc]], or other languages used in their area, even [[Aquan]]. Most ordinary lizardfolk were illiterate.<ref name="RoF-p141"/><ref name="MM3.5e-p169" />

===Religion===
Most lizardfolk worshiped [[Semuanya]], who focused solely on the survival and propagation of the lizardfolk species.<ref name="MM3.5e-p169" /> This religion was maintained by [[cleric]]s who served as tribal shamans; they bestowed Semuanya's blessings on the lizardfolk people whenever required. Although they had no shrines or temples, nor even regular ceremonies, lizardfolk were very proud of their religious traditions and their deity.<ref name="RoF-p142"/> However, Semuanya was an uncaring and unfeeling god who dismissed even the suffering of his followers, expecting them to take care of themselves.<ref name="L&L-p96">{{Cite book/Legends & Lore}}</ref><ref name="MonMyth-p102">{{Cite book/Monster Mythology|102}}</ref><ref name="SK-p187">{{Cite book/Serpent Kingdoms|187, 188, 189}}</ref>

Thanks to Semuanya's close links to nature, and because lizardfolk were naturally close to the land, ready to take what it gave them, many lizardfolk had no problem shifting to worshiping nature itself. This led to a high number of lizardfolk [[druid]]s.<ref name="RoF-p141"/><ref name="RoF-p142"/>

However, the lizardfolk had other gods. Their original god was [[Essylliss]], who focused on the lizardfolk themselves. But as Semuanya's influence grew, Essylliss's worship declined until he was almost forgotten. He was followed by a bare few lizardfolk.<ref name="SK-p187"/>

There was also the cult of [[Sess'innek]], a [[demon lord]] who represented dominion and his version of civilization. He sought to corrupt the lizardfolk, and created the demonic [[lizard king]]s to this end; they operated as tribal leaders or shamans. Sess'innek's followers were hostile, territorial, and greedy. They tried to convert all other lizardfolk to their cult, or else kill them off, and they attacked Semuanya's shamans on sight.<ref name="MonMyth-p102"/><ref name="SK-p187"/>

==Homelands==
Lizardfolk generally inhabited marshes and swamps in the temperate and warm regions of Faerûn.<ref name="RoF-p140"/> The majority dwelled in swamps in well-hidden lairs, but around a third of the lizardfolk population actually laired in underwater caves that were filled with air.<ref name="RoF-p140"/><ref name="MM3.5e-p169"/>

There were populations of lizardfolk in [[Chessenta]] and the [[Chondalwood]], around the [[Lake of Steam]] and the [[Vilhon Reach]], on the [[Nelanther Isles]], and in the [[Western Heartlands]]. In particular, communities lived in the [[Deepwash]], the [[Flooded Forest]], the [[Marsh of Chelimber]], the [[Marsh of Tun]], and the [[Great Swamp of Rethild]]. Lizardfolk could also be found in the cooler swamps of the [[Sword Coast]] like the [[Lizard Marsh]]<ref name="RoF-p140"/> and the swamps at the mouth of the [[Winding Water]].<ref name="VGttSC-p49">{{Cite book/Volo's Guide to the Sword Coast|49}}</ref>

In [[Chult]], lizardfolk could be seen on the shores of the [[River Olung]].<ref>{{Template:Cite book/The Ring of Winter|248|14}}</ref>

Lizardfolk were also one of the major races on the inner planet [[Coliar]], populating the earth islands of the gas giant. They showed great interest in [[spelljammer]] technology.<ref>{{Cite book/Realmspace|12-16}}</ref>

==Relations==
Neighboring lizardfolk tribes would often ally against formidable enemies, even against other hostile lizardfolk tribes.<ref name="MM3.5e-p169" />

The relationship of lizardfolk to other races was considered to be mostly that of hunter to prey. Lizardfolk of somewhat more civilized nature understood that other races might know something worth learning, and were ready to parley.<ref name="RoF-p142"/> Lizardfolk were most likely to negotiate with [[halfling]]s.<ref name="MM4e-p178"/> Nevertheless, lizardfolk considered themselves stronger and thus better than most other races<ref name="RoF-p140"/> and therefore thought of themselves as "real people". Lizardfolk referred to most of the civilized races as "softskins".<ref name="RoF-p141"/>

Lizardfolk rarely interacted with other races as their swampy homelands were home to few other sentient creatures. Their main competitors in the swamps were [[bullywug]]s, whom lizardfolk tended to despise.<ref name="HotDQ-p69">{{Cite book/Hoard of the Dragon Queen|69}}</ref> They sometimes allied with [[locathah]]s, or choose to serve highly dominant creatures like [[dragon]]s or [[naga]]s.<ref name="MM3.5e-p169" />

In places where lizardfolk raiding parties threatened civilization, interracial relations could be particularly bad, In the coastal village of [[Lathtarl's Lantern]] the hunting of lizard folk became a sport.<ref name="VGttSC-p50">{{Cite book/Volo's Guide to the Sword Coast|50}}</ref>

In rare events when lizardfolk were aided by members of other humanoid races and became respected among a tribe, [[robe]]d lizardfolk shamans created large [[enchanted]] [[amulet]]s of [[bronze]]. These items were universally recognized by all lizardfolk and proclaimed that the wearer was a trusted friend. The amulet protected the wearer from any and all lizardmen attacks unless forced to defend themselves. The magics weaved by the lizardfolk were complex [[dweomer]]s that made it instantly apparent if the medallion was copied. Additionally, these amulets were attuned to a specific wearer, making them useless when sold, gifted, or stolen.<ref name="RoA-p72">{{Cite book/Ruins of Adventure|72}}</ref>

==Uses==
The eggs and skin of lizardfolk were bitter and inedible.<ref name="MC1"/>

The skin of lizardfolk could be fashioned into armor.<ref name="MC1"/>

The lizardfolk themselves had no written history. Lizardfolk themselves believed they were one of the first humanoid races on [[Toril]]. In their story, lizardfolk had dwelled in the swamps since the beginning and that all the civilized races outside had evolved from weak lizardfolk who could not endure their harsh life and left the swamps. Thus, the lizardfolk could look down upon the civilized races as weaklings.<ref name="RoF-p140"/> Outsiders thought it more likely that lizardfolk were an offshoot of the ancient [[Creator Race]] known as the [[sarrukh]], appearing long before any of the interloper races came to [[Toril]].<ref name="RoF-p140"/>

Regardless, it was clear that lizardfolk had an unimaginably ancient culture, virtually unchanged over the eons.<ref name="RoF-p140"/>

In {{Yearlink|-1732}}, the [[Lapal]] tribes imported large numbers of lizardfolk as slaves from the [[Great Swamp of Rethild]]. Many of the lizardfolk escaped into the land that would become [[Halruaa]].<ref name="tGHotR-p34">{{Cite book/The Grand History of the Realms|34}}</ref>

In {{Yearlink|-189}}, the armies of [[Serpentes]] conquered the [[Tashalar]]. The army was made up of lizardfolk and [[yuan-ti]].<ref name="tGHotR-p53">{{Cite book/The Grand History of the Realms|53}}</ref>

In the {{YearlinkName|289}}, lizardfolk claimed the flooded city of [[Marsember]] in [[Cormyr]] after King [[Torst Obarskyr|Torst]] and his brother [[Gordroun Obarskyr|Gordroun]] were slain in the flooding.<ref name="tGHotR-p68">{{Cite book/The Grand History of the Realms|68}}</ref>

In [[993 DR]], several lizardfolk tribes migrated eastward from [[Serpent Hills]] into the newly formed [[Marsh of Chelimber]].<ref name="tGHotR-p113">{{Cite book/The Grand History of the Realms|113}}</ref>

In [[1330 DR]], the community of [[Reeshov]] saw an influx in lizardfolk after the creatures were freed from [[mind flayer]] control.<ref name="tGHotR-p137">{{Cite book/The Grand History of the Realms|137}}</ref>
