Lizard Men

Created from some of the foulest of Mondain's magics, lizard men were birthed from the combination of the wizard's own expendable servants and great reptiles which dwelt in the Sosarian wetlands. Strong and dangerous in battle, they thankfully became more peaceful after Mondain's fall in the first Age of Darkness, and even co-existed with goblins and mountain-folk, as seen in the Abyssal Colony. Though these lizard men had their own spoken language, they were intelligent enough to understand (but not speak) the common tongue. They were encountered in green, grey, and red varieties.

First encountered in Ultima I, lizard men are much more important to the plot in Ultima Underworld I, but weren't seen after this. The lava lizards in Ultima IV may very well be their primitive ancestors–or perhaps another of Mondain's reptilian experiments, previously thought to be lost.

Lizard men are usually found underground, near a source of water.
