Lizardfolk in D&D | The Moral Muck of Marsh-Dwellers | Wandering DMs S07 E21
Update: 2025-06-28
Description
Paul & Dan wade deep into the swamp to uncover the shifting role of lizardfolk across Dungeons & Dragons editions. From their earliest days as faceless wilderness threats to complex cultures with alien worldviews, how has D&D's portrayal of these scaled humanoids evolved?
We’ll dive into classic modules like Danger at Dunwater and Tomb of the Lizard King, trace their pulp fantasy roots, and even compare how video games like Pool of Radiance handled their moral ambiguity. Were they ever really "monsters", or were we just too quick to draw our swords?
Join us as we explore what makes lizardfolk one of D&D's most misunderstood creatures - and maybe one of its most revealing.
