Ishtass is a gray lizard man found on the third level of The Abyss. He appears in Ultima Underworld.
Description[edit]
When the Avatar met him the hero was surprised that Ishtass was capable of speaking English, although he admitted that he had to concentrate for it. This had made him an outcast from his differently-colored brethren, and Ishtass could not offer much help with lizard man vocabulary, as it went against certain oaths. He could, however, tell the Avatar much about their history, and revealed that he was searching for a scroll once possessed by the great Ossikka. Upon acquiring the scroll for him, Ishtass gave the Avatar the only WIS-rune stone available in the Abyss. He also revealed the fate of the sword Caliburn and where to find one of its pieces.
When the Abyss was later destroyed, he went deeper underground, as did the other lizard men.
Lore[edit]
| “ | Here, you are likely to find Ishtass, a gray-skinned lizardman. These gray lizardmen, sometimes called the Quiet Ones, are very intelligent, and Ishtass even speak some portion of the human tongue. He's anxious to hear word of a lost lizardmen hero, Ossika, and he's heard the story about the breaking of Sir Cabirus' sword, Caliburn, but I do not think he knows enough to be dangerous. |
