Hey there MrRhexx! I wanted to clear up your confusion about the Lizardfolk teeth. It appears that D&D based the Lizardfolk off a real life creature called the Tuatara. Tuataras are the most ancient lineage of reptiles still living today and can only be found in New Zealand. They retain many features of fish and amphibians that are not found in any other reptile. Beyond having 3 functional eyes, stomach ribs and lungs that are little more than fish air-bladders, they don't have teeth. Instead, like fish, they have tooth-like projections that just erupt right out of their gumline. They look exactly like reptile or fish teeth, but they have no root, no enamel; they are just bone. They aren't any weaker than normal teeth, but they do break and wear out all the same. When that happens, they are usually just ground down to a stump by the act of chewing. It doesn't seem to slow Tuatara's down whether they have teeth or not.
If you want to see what Lizardfolk really look like, just take a look at the Tuatara. They even have the crests the D&D manual talks about.
At en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuatara they have a pretty cool description with images of the skull and jaw configuration:
SKULL:
In the course of evolution, the skull has been modified in most diapsids from the original version evident in the fossil record. However, all the original features are preserved in that of the tuatara; it has two openings - a temporal fenestra on each side of the skull, with complete arches. In addition, the upper jaw is firmly attached to the skull.[25] This makes for a very rigid, inflexible construction. Testudines (turtles and tortoises) have anapsid skulls - they lack any temporal fenestrae, are sometimes considered to be the most primitive among amniotes, though evidence strongly indicates they may have lost the temporal openings rather than never having had them.[25][47][48]
*The tip of the upper jaw is beak-like and separated from the remainder of the jaw by a notch. There is a single row of teeth in the lower jaw and a double row in the upper, with the bottom row fitting perfectly between the two upper rows when the mouth is closed.[25] This specific tooth arrangement is not seen in any other reptile; although most snakes have a double row of teeth in their upper jaws, their arrangement and function is different from the tuatara's. The jaws, joined by ligament, chew with backwards and forwards movements combined with a shearing up and down action. The force of the bite is suitable for shearing chitin and bone.[25] Fossils indicate that this jaw structure began developing about 180 million years ago.[49] The tuatara's teeth are not replaced, since they are not separate structures like real teeth, but sharp projections of the jaw bone.[50] As their teeth wear down, older tuatara have to switch to softer prey such as earthworms, larvae, and slugs, and eventually have to chew their food between smooth jaw bones.[51]*
The brain of Sphenodon fills only half of the volume of its endocranium.[52] This proportion has actually been used by paleontologists trying to estimate the volume of dinosaur brains based on fossils.[52] However, the proportion of the tuatara endocranium occupied by its brain may not be a very good guide to the same proportion in Mesozoic dinosaurs since modern birds are surviving dinosaurs but have brains which occupy a much greater relative volume within the endocranium.[52]
Looks like you were dead on the money MrRhexx in regards to them being "sharp projections of the jaw bone" or in other words no actual teeth at all really, hence the rather serrated look of the lips similar to an actual Tuatara?
If they have based Lizardfolk upon Tuatara that is quite ironic because the fact is, that Tuatara are NOT Lizards lol.
@@glenbe4026 Hahaha, funny how people will still rely on appearances.
I would imagine they had teeth like dunkleosteus, which is bone but with a shear edge instead of a spiked/serrated.
Ooooh. Fancy.
Elf: *slays an ogre* "That was a piece of cake."
*crunching noise*
*party looks back in horror*
Lizardfolk: *looks up covered in ogre blood and guts* "Knife-ears lied. There is no cake."
The cake is a lie. I had to say it.

True, very true
Jakub Bończak lizard boy was hoping for both
@Jakub Bończak They're omnivorous, but they do prefer meat. Also, I don't think reptiles generally have much of a sweet tooth.
I think emotionless, completely logical lizard folk get into the funniest scenarios.
Imagine you're in a party, walking through a snowy area low on supplies, everyone is panicking but the lizard folk isn't, you ask why. "I have enough food to last for 4 days." you notice his bag is just as light as yours and he's watching your exhausted, starving halfling bard like a hawk
I'd imagine the only thing left in the bag is spices to use on the others.
well you can't fault his resourcefulness
@@frozenlizard7738 Are elves better with thyme or basil?
@@The_Bird_Bird_Harder depends if you want your elf to have a minty or peppery taste.
He actually means that as a mesothermic animal, he doesn't require as much food as the warm-bloods in the party.
Your bodies will last him MUCH longer than 4 days if it comes to that.
I have an idea of a cloud giant keeping a lizardfolk tribe in a terrarium. The tribe wouldn’t really mind due to the safety and he constant supply of food. The chief would take the spot directly under the heat lamp for themselves.
I think it’d be cooler if the lizards didn’t know they were in a terrarium
@@thewrustywrench21 they just think their tribe lives in a land created by the gods for them.
Honestly I'd take that offer
That’s a cool idea. I like the “they don’t know they’re pets” idea too
@@Firstgenamerican21 Ye. They honestly think they’re just being pampered. Like they’re blessed, or special, or something.
Seeing a group of lizard men sitting around a table laughing their tails off warms my heart.

@@frozenlizard7738 P-please don't eat me I have a family! *laughs in Lizard*

Lizardfolk don't laugh, or drink, or let alone go anywhere near a pub, so that picture is wrong in every single way
"father could you pass me the salt, so that I can make this human flesh more appetizing?"
"nay son/daughter, what are you? Intelligent or something?"
"I said, pass me the salt, father!"

Gotta come peppered...
"they don't laugh when they Crack a joke"
"they don't feel actual emotions"
He literally just showed a picture of lizard men busting up from one of them jokes... XD
I personally like the idea that the whole emotionless thing is bullshit, and is something they tell themselves based on their religion. Like 'it's bad to be smart, and also emotions and morality are just distracting you from reality' but in truth they all feel emotions and use this idea as a kind of shield to protect themselves from having to deal with some of the heavier, harder aspects of feeling things. Because yeah, they were busting a gut.
@@Chaz-dj9sq I like the idea of lizardfolk telling themselves "in the wild, that sponge in your head and whatever distractions cause you shouldn't interfere in your survival", an "in case of danger, return to monke" more than something you actually see them doing between each other.
Call it "survivalist's trance" and throw it in as a racial trait, a number of stat modifiers accompanied with a suggestion on how to ideally play a lizardfolk when this trait triggers.
@@Chaz-dj9sq I like that
Oh! So they won't laugh at my jokes? Well then I am going to wait for them to sit down and summon small stone pillars to go up their cloacas. I'm sure they will be laughing then!
Timestamp?
11:56 From this fact alone, I can just imagine the shenanigans of playing a Lizardfolk shaman in an adventuring party, just:

>Lizardfolk shun Intelligence
That doesn't mean you can't or shouldn't run a Lizard Wizard. Just play their Int score as a ruthless cunning, a knack for tactics, excellent memory, and the ability to quickly assess new situations. Or, better yet, play them as being smart enough to play stupid.
Right! You could be an outcast from your village literally because you were simply too smart for their taste, and that's why you decided to take on the life of an adventurer!
@@MrRhexx do all lizardmen tribes and cultures proscribe to that? thats a problem in most fiction. a none human race gets a single or handfull of traits that defines them, while more human like cultures gets more defined, like elves and dwarfves..

I'll see myself out
Being a wizard in a society that literally doesn't know how to read is hard when you need a spell book.
You left out a pretty good and (in my mind) important part from the Volo's Guide about their opinions on humanoid allies. They actually feel almost a sense of pity for those who "lack scales and sharp teeth" and to them it is a wonder they survive without such protections. Quote from Volo's Guide to Monsters: "They assesd such beings as hatchlings, young ones incapable of protecting themselves but who might prove useful in the future if they receive care."
Edit: apparently there was an embarrassing typo
Which indicates an understanding of a "future"
I do like that image though, of lizardfolk looking at a fully armored warrior like we might look at a kitten in knight armor.
Oh dude. My lizardfolk adopted the party wizard and warlock after Session 1 after they were one-shot in our first combat session. And he constantly thumbs his nose as the party fighter for needing "artificial scales" to protect himself.

Pretty sure there isn't much difference.
You know, if you wanted to make lizardmen more emotional in a setting, there are real life reptiles that are more developed in that way. Crocodiles, in particular, have social dynamics and can develop attachments, care for their young and have been observed working together to catch prey, and are one of the bigger inspirations for depictions of lizardfolk.
The royal bloodlines are serpent seeds.
Crocodiles aren't lizards though. Make croc folk!
Or Tegus. Tegus are some very intelligent lizards, and many reptile-owners describe well-raised Tegus as having nearly doglike temperaments!
Monitor lizards are also quite smart and potentially emotional. Komodo Dragons, especially, are known to recognize zookeepers, pick favourite caretakers when in Zoos, and have distinct personalities.
@@PSIworld13 Aren't they also pack animals?
@@michaelhowze8198 No they are not, they are solitary. when they gather around a corpse it is oppertunistic feeding and even then the smaller komodos are at risk of getting attacked and potentially eaten by a larger one if it gets grumpy. As such the biggest ones eat first, then the smaller ones
Outside of eating from a large corpse together, One of the significant causes of death for juvenile and adolescent komodos is cannibalism, so they stay well away from adults and small ones are tree dwellers
I actually imagine lizardfolk using javelins or spears would be about as common or more common than greatclubs. After all, they are swimmers, and greatclubs are poor choices for underwater combat.
that's what an intelligent lizardfolk would say, and no one would listen to him/her
It doesn’t take much intelligence to sharpen a stick and throw or poke with it.
Mtn. Dewmslayer it still takes intelligence
Ralfs Krauze lizard folk aren’t intelligent enough to make a stick pointy?

Victor What would you expect of the foolish warm bloods? They are good only for feasting upon and nothing else, as they are so simple they cannot understand the greatness of the old ones and their great plan, and so they must be devoured.
well no not really. they have a similar mindset, lizard htinking and such. will eat people and each other too. they just have different biology and origin in comparison.
@@taddad2641 Oh they are very different, well a Saurus may have no problem eating a person they will only do so if their leaders tell them that it is okay. They lack the natural desire to do so, they function more like machines than individuals they are born with all the knowledge they need to perform the duties they were created for and will perform those duties until they die. And the Saurus are just the military of the wider Lizardman civilization, I can go deeper into the differences, but I would rather make my own video to discuss the topic.
@@taddad2641 That, and they were trying to save the world and mind their own damn business.

From this video it checks out in both boxes. They eat their own dead as a way of honoring them, and they have been show making trade deals with other races and towns.
@@patrickdees5256
in that case i know a lot of people who act civilised yet are barbaric. they lack reason for the things they do, and can't be reasoned with (hello trump).
i'm pretty sure that most people described as barbaric always should have both of those covered as well. if you don't it's simply bad writing.

Most of this seems culturally based meaning some dark wizard intent on experimentation can steal some eggs and start breeding slightly more intelligent lizard folk just to see how they’ll turn out.
TIL lizard folk are ideal, for magical genetic experimentation. Eggs absorb nutrients from their surroundings? Hmmm let's get started!
i was thinking the same. submerge them in dragon blood or a domesticated ooze. or potions of healing or potions of giants strength.
Yeah. I had the idea for a lizardfolk background, that the egg was stolen by a wizard who just wanted to have a little fun with me. Now you could have a lizard wizard, lizard sorcerer, lizard rogue, lizard fighter or lizard barbarian. Heck now you can make your lizard what the heck you want it to be!

Lizardfolk is probably my favorite race. My first DnD character was a Lizardfolk monk name Vargach. Long ago his tribe game across a group of Githyani who were hunting mindflayers. After the gith soundly defeated the lizardfolk without any weapons they became very impressed and wanted to "hunt" like them. With helping with the mindflayer hunt they trained the tribe in their martial arts. When the gith left the tribe continue to train and evolved to style to better suit their bodies (i.e. adding tail and bite attacks). So Vargach was a way of the open hand (claw) monk who refused to use weapons. They believed that eating powerful enemies would absorb their Ki and make them more powerful as well. He was a lot of fun to play.

Cunning, but brutal.
@@brianduarte2071 or was it brutal but cunning?
I haven't played d&d since mid 80's, but I do enjoy listening about it.
And yes, my mom gave me the talk about d&d because her crazy Christian friend told her it was satanic. My mom was cool though. That was the controversy back in the day when the game was getting big. Religious fanatics we're trying to smear D&D saying it was the gateway to the devil.
My memory of it was being good clean fun.
Ah them cultists. Good times.
Its ironic they tried to shutdown like litteraly the most wholesome past time at the time lmao like it was the 80s what else you gonna do? Join the lost boys or some shit
My active years was early 80s to mid 90s. It was horrific when my dad thought it was all satanic and threw all my stuff away. Dude, I had a first printing of Deities and Demigods!!! But I literally copied the tables from a friend's book by hand, and bought dice from other friends so that I could still continue to play. And when I was old enough to have a job, I bought all the books again and hid them from my dad. lol I don't play anymore, but it brings back good memories listening to videos like this.
I remember that too. I watched mazes and monsters and had to check out D&D. Tom hanks best movie. Lol. Maybe not.
I question that most lizardfolk don't use weapons when lizardfolk PCs get a crafting ability by default. Oh well, not like PCs are supposed to be average.
I hear you, i guess the idea is that they can make things that they need on the spot since they are very scrappy like that. But the general lore for the lizardfolk does say rather convincingly that only a very small few know how to work iron or know that iron is better than bone or stone. I will say though it is somewhat unbelievable that not more of their tribes know how useful a shield is, but that much is canon as well.
@UCV3TjAzq1alZ9bBiE2v3nrA or maybe PC lizardfolk come from tribes with a higher Intellect average
@@OMartinez91 and perhaps has had association with crafting people's
The entire thing about Lizardfolk appear rather contradiction. They are fierce carnivores who love to eat humanoids, yet make good traders. ehh.
@@MrRhexx In the campaign "Dragon Hoard" the book says explicity that they are very bad at working with iron, even if someone is trying to teach them how. their best work was still pretty useless. Not all tribes do trade with others, but that tribe did trade to get some good steel weapons

The idea that you kill to survive and to use what you kill. Expressing the culture through the weapons and tools you make.

It’s great to see dnd including this lore about the intersex shamans, as it heavily mirrors real life shamans in many eastern and south eastern Native American tribes, as those who were intersex were thought to be spiritually gifted.
It wouldn't make the bite weaker. The "teeth" would just break easier.
Yeah but I'd rather have broken teeth than bone fracture
It most likely would make their bite weaker too. If the teeth break easier then they would have to have weaker bites in order to actually keep their teeth for a while most of the time. Losing your teeth is a huge disadvantage for most species that have them
@@zakosist Or maybe their "teeth" regrow. Some lizards do that.

I would love to see you cover all the player races for 5e. For a long time I thought I might make a module so players could have an understanding of where they come from. But what you found on this race alone blew whatever I had on lizardfolk out of the water.
A collection of “what they don’t tell you about player races” and “what they don’t tell you about minion races” along with your current stuff for legendary creatures is a dm godsend!
I'd just like to take this chance to personally thank you for this video. I'm currently playing a Lizardfolk character and have been looking at videos to try and get a better understanding of them to play a better character. Of all the videos I've watched, by a wide margin yours was the most informative and the one I learned the most from. I'm definitely looking forward to my next game now.

I have watched this so many times, and everytime I still love it! I just like how different Lizardfolk are and what we are given from this
Super thoughtful to do the book review at the end, love your videos keep it up man.
You put Lizardfolk and Nymphs right next to each other in the playlist and yet they could not be any more different!
Id love to see more videos over the various races its super helpful with character creation knowing all of their history and cultures
Your D&D videos are the best that can be found on CZcams. Thanks, man
Currently playing a Lizard Folk named Karrus. First non human character I’ve ever played and it’s been a blast. I decided to go Cleric for the first time so this video has been really helpful!!
Lotta use of the Warhammer picture of the Slann in this video. Curious.
Lizardfolk are my favorite d&d race
This was a great one. Lizardfolk are such a fringe monster to use, so it's nice there is enough lore to piece together for an interesting experience.
Thank you for these videos. They really help a DM flesh out NPC's and maybe even important villains!
Right now I'm playing as a Lizardfolk Totem Barbarian/Moon Druid (Fun Game Advice: Rage and Wild Shape can work together!) from Chult, the dinosaur infested jungle to the south, who was the chief before his tribe was wiped out. DM agrees that since I'm from Chult, I've seen dinosaurs, and can Wild Shape them once powerful enough. Basically gets to turn into a rabid Allosaurus and eat everything that causes a problem. Lots of fun.
Another thing the monster manual doesn't tell you:
Players who are lizardfolk always want to taste the flesh of everything, so watch your back when a party member is a lizardfolk, or else they may figure out what YOU taste like
Lizardfolk learned draconic from dragons in ancient times and have passed it down generations. Americans with immigrant grandparents might know ten polish words.
Wow you went deep on this! Great job cant wait to see what's left.
nice warhammer anf total war warhammer 2 artworks you got there in your DnD video ;)
He always seems to have one
Their art is honestly too good to pass up
Also Elder Scrolls art, but who cares. It makes for great images for the video. I like the combination of all the art sources, gives a nice way to see all interpretations.
I love these vids even though I've never actually played dnd. I recently heard about some of the sea races in the game and i think a video about Tritons would be cool.
MrRhexx We love the long videos. Keep them coming.
This was awesome. Lizardfolk are definetly favorites for me when it comes to fantasy races. And your Video quality was top notch as per usual
I’m in the middle of my first DND campaign and I’m playing as a lizardfok claric
Do I revive my ally or eat them?
Lizardfolk are interesting. Sad not to see a video about satyrs though :(
This was MEGA entertaining!!! It was a related video. But I'm into this type of material! Whoever the innovators are, they did their THING,, in detail!
I love that you used Sparhawk fighing. Yes i'm a geek for recognizing the cover art.
I personally changed Lizardfolk to be more like the Trolls of WoW in there religion allowing for smart and savage ones and very tense moments when ever the party sees one. Also allows for different scaly people then Dragonborn to have some plot
Also please consider making this long videos again as it was really awesome. Not every single one needs to be this long ( that be over kill), but every once in a while for the right topic it is great
Speaking of Alien beastfolk cultures I would love to see the Thri-Kreen
Love the Sparhawk image. Great series im watching, but I never see Eddings anywhere and it made me happy.
It may have been longer than normal, but I enjoyed it and you gave me a new appreciation for the Lizard folk.
The passion you carry in the tone of your voice while you tell about fantasy lore piques interest. Your videos are quite captivating and enthralling; I could watch them for hours.
They don’t tell you how amazing the cloaca feels.
6:08 Love the Sparhawk pic. Nostalgia is hitting me hard now. XD
Been hoping for an in depth lizard folk video, theyve always been my favourite race! Also, first time I've seen this channel. Cant wait to binge on content :) subbed
Will you do the Kenkus as well?
HELL YEAH I WAS JUST ABOUT TO MAKE ON OF THESE DUDES
It gonna die
I absolutely LOVE these videos, Please keep doing them!
So you are making the playable races? GITH PLEASE
Githyanki or Githzerai?
