Lizard King Prestige Class
Originally presented as a monster in the Fiend Folio by Stephen Home

Originally thought to be a seperate race of monsters the Lizard King's true tale begins with the half-fiendish Lizardfolk hero deity Slish 'Eness. Slish 'Eniss founded the first great lizardfolk empire which he reigned in tyranny and terror. Over the course of his rule he took many concubines and through these unions mingling his bloodline with that all the tribes under his rule.

The Lizard King character is a one of his descendants. Though they are many times removed from their fiendish ancestor the power and villiany of their heritage is within them. It manifests itself as they gain experience until they transform grow into the creature known as the Lizard King.

At first they begin to display the personality features of their heritage such as intelligence and beligerence. Slowly their combat prowess and evil grows until their bodies enlarge into the form of the Lizard King.
