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.
@DaniMartVTen5 жыл бұрын
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?

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.

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.

Hey, Thanks so much for this video, it taught me a lot. We are starting to play our first DnD campaign and i choose to make Lizardfolk Druid, and then I searched for videos about them and found yours. And thanks to you my backstory looks like this: Tribe of my lizard lived in swamp that was close to human village. Usually they would move their tribe far away but every year there was a great migration of elk like creature so they coexisted so far. Unusual event happened in the tribe. Both blessed lizards were born one of Semuanya destined to be the new shaman and one of Sessinek destined to be the new chieftain. My character is the future shaman to be. The lizard king took power earlier then expected and the tribe started to be more aggressive towards the human settlement. My character named Tuatara (I love them and I thought that Tuatara could mean something like true form in Draconic because my lizardfolk is blessed by Semuanya) argued with the current shaman that this will end badly for the tribe because there is not enough of them and they cannot win against the humans. When was time for the next human sacrifice should be brought to the lizard king humans managed to rescue the captives and kill several lizardfolk, this angered the lizard king and when the shaman gave advice to move the tribe away from the human settlement lizard king had enough and actually killed the shaman. Seeing this Tuatara known there will be no guidance for the tribe and all will go very badly for them, so with strong survival instinct but shamed, Tuatara run. Form that time Tuatara lived alone looking for a way to make sure no spawn of Sessinek will ever be born in any lizardfolk tribe ever again. And so my adventure begins :) I have question, can you please give me any tips for reading material? I so far got The big book of lizardfolk and Lizardfolk subraces but would love to know more about them and also about Semuanya. Any reading recommendations would be appreciated.

You should really cite your sources for the stuff not shown in the books/text you show on screen; then you would be bringing knowledge to people instead of stating things that the viewers cannot confirm the validity of ("Second-hand Sources are Suspect", as my professor often said). Also, note that _Volo's Guide to Monsters_ is written with the mindset of being an actual in-game book to a certain extent, and are therefore written from the (skewed) perspective of Volothamp Geddarm (Volo) and El minster Aumar the Archmage. Likewise, a lot of information in that book (besides the stat blocks) are fluff conflicted by and opposed to that of other sources, and as such are unreliable at best. Finally, Volo's guide is a Forgotten Realms setting-based book, and as such the fluff information (if true) is only really applied to the Forgotten Realms; outside this setting the information is far more dubious than it already was. As a long-time player of lizardfolk of all kinds (from vanilla to shadowscale to poison dusk, etc.) and in several settings, I just ask for your sources and state my above response as someone who loves lizardfolk and doesn't want them to get a bad rep. Yes, their culture and mindset are different from most humanoids, but it's just as much location as it is culture, and in every experience I've had with lizardfolk (whether PC or NPC) the general consensus was not that intelligence was bad but instead that thought is useless without action. --Signed, a Lizardfolk Player and fan.
@shibo12215 жыл бұрын
That last comment you make about about intelligence and the general whole comment you have made here is lovely and true. Intelligence without actions it seems according to Lizardfolk seems to be useless and detrimental towards society. Which is why it seems they make a distinction between cunning and intelligence. This is added by the fact which MrRhexx seems to have forgotten to mention that Lizardfolk have the innate talent to make various tools out the the bones and hides of the creatures it kills using artisans tools. ("Cunning Artisan" "gdnd.wikidot.com/race:lizardfolk") showing that unlike what MrRhexx mentioned it is common for lizard folk to be more intelligent then what he gives them credit for. Also, I think when it comes to research about the different monsters, he uses not only the 5e sources but also older sources such as 4e, 3e and 2e. This leads me to think as many of his videos somewhat inaccurate as appearances of creatures and certain behaviors have changed since different dungeons and dragons editions. Still, this video give great perspective and general knowledge according to the people writing the book (such as Volo) therefore due to this being a roleplaying game one can make the the lizardfolk however they wish and can easily incorporate or dis-incorporate the information given in Players Handbook, Volos or this video by MrRhexx.

I love that they have this idea in there, because lizardfolk are omnivorous like these guys and there are very few lizards that are adepted to eat plants (nowadays). These lizards lose some of their teeth drewing ontogeny when the share of plant matter increases in their diet. However, they still have some teeth and I would assume Lizardfolk have also some amount of teeth depending on how much flesh they eat.

Once again, MrRhexx is presenting a lot of info, but slightly undercutting his efforts by not properly distinguishing sources, because D&D is not a singular coherent body of lore, and what is true of one edition or setting is not necessarily true for others. Allow me to provide some further insight. The anti-intellectual slant of lizardfolk culture, and its ties to Semuanya's, emerged in 3rd edition, in the Dragon magazine article "Ecology of the Lizardfolk". This was the first appearance of the idea of lizardfolk deliberately preaching against intelligence, and was an attempt to justify their traditional monocultural depiction. This was one of several retcons in that article; others included the backstory of Kecuala; the presentation of Semuanya (originally a brutish male deity) as a hermaphroditic deity worshipped as either the male-aspected Hunter, the female-aspected Breeder, or the neuter-aspected Watcher as the situation called for; and the idea of shamans being made up of the rare sterile hermaphrodite lizardfolk, when originally shamans had been expected to be the predominant breeders of their villages to the point of committing suicide when age stripped them of their fertility. In 4th edition, the adventure "Captain Slygo's Treasure" states that in the Nentir Vale/Nerath setting, originally, lizardfolk had a highly advanced culture dedicated to worship of Kecuala as a martyr-god, with their intellect allowing them to build a vast empire. But discontent from amongst the lower classes, stoked by the warlike and anti-intellectual Cult of Semuanya, plunged them into civil war and decline, ultimately reducing them to the scattered tribes of barbarians they are today. The emotional stuntedness of lizardfolk is mostly a 5e invention, as is the absolute fixation on consuming humanoid flesh; traditionally, only the demon-corrupted Lizard Kings/Queens had any real craving for humanoid flesh. The tendency for lizardfolk to be distracted by kills in the middle of combat is lore that existed in AD&D, but which was not mentioned in any subsequent edition. There have been many different variants of lizardfolk, official or otherwise. See 1d4chan.org/wiki/Lizardfolk#Variants Pathfinder's lizardfolk lack the anti-intellectual slant of D&D's ones. They are far more intelligent, and whilst they still tend to be wielders of stone-based biology, that is due to their native environments not being conducive to metalwork. I don't know where he is getting this information on lizardfolk being so patriarchal and strictly gender roled from, because I don't recall any such lore in canon.

@MrNetWraith , I started AD&D as a teenager back in 1990's then moved into 3.5e. I still have the Complete Humanoid Hand Book. I give all creature class levels. Lizardmen start out as ranger2nd/ rogue3rd. L.M. use wicker large shield wall to catch arrows and they use bows and lasso to drag other into water to drown. I treat them as hit and run ambush hunters. I also ran AD&D games as lizardmen. 3.5e Lizardmen in the DMG take a skill point/ rank penalty. Which sucks. In a Dragon Mag mini campaign setting a statement was made, " More mad skills, more mad kills." Multi-class skill stacking power gaming. Higher your Int= more bonus skill points. Smarter the lizardman, more ranks a barbarian/ ranger can have in tracking. D&D talks about player game balance, but from AD&D non humans had a level cap. And in 3.5e non human suffer skill points/ ranks. D&D favor humans to become god like beings, not other races.

Fantastic video! I'm playing a Lizardman Druid in a friend's game. They found him living on an island as a hermit, exiled from his tribe for the reasons you mentioned above. As a shaman, he is a hermaphrodite and was exiled for the good of the tribe due to his habit of "thinking too much". I've kept up the habit of having him only Wild Shape into cold-blooded forms (or insect forms), as he finds mammalian forms to be unsettling. He can't understand why the PCs get upset when he starts eating the fallen enemies and carving off bits to eat later, but he's (mostly) stopped for now due to the party's delicate sensibilities. And there's that "thinking too much" trait again...

Hermaphreditism is not always sterile. It is INCREDIBLY rare (and the condition is rare in general) but it is possible. An idea for a Ququala player character could be one who is "whole" and has a deep subconcious notion that despite the fact others like them are always sterile they might not be and as the story progresses perhaps they do succeed in breeding (such a feat would likely shake their culture and religion so i think the PC would be good as a cleric or druid if they went this route)
