They are most often used by the jann as beasts of burden and as mounts, but other races have been known to use them as well – most notably the kenku and nagpas. (Note that the kenku never ride any creature as a mount, however.) Lacertas aren’t any harder to train than other animals similar to it in nature (i.e. monitor lizard, MM v.3.5 page 275).Lacertas are a mottled green or sandy brown in color and look like a cross between monitor lizards and dragons. Their visage is definitely draconic, and the creatures often have horns and facial ridges similar to that of true dragons. Yet, lacertas are simple animals that are relatively easy to tame.The market price for a lacerta is 300 gp.CombatLacertas aren’t aggressive unless provoked. They can be quite protective of their young, however, especially females. Lacertas living wild in the desert are more likely to attack those that come near. The lizard can inflict a nasty bite to those that don’t show it respect.Skills: Lacertas have a +4 racial bonus on Hide and Move Silently checks. *In desert areas, the Hide bonus improves to +8. **A lacerta has a +8 racial bonus on any Listen or Spot check to perform some special action or avoid a hazard. It can always choose to take 10 on a Climb check, even if distracted or endangered.Carrying Capacity: A light load for a lacerta is up to 1,400 pounds; a medium load, 1,401–2,800 pounds; and a heavy load, 2,801–4,200 pounds.GIANT LIZARD, LACERTA WARBEASTLarge Animal (Dire)Hit Dice: 6d8+48 (78 hp)Initiative: +6 (Dex, Improved Initiative)Speed: 50 ft.

The beast has been tattooed with red and black ink all over its body and has outfitted with an exotic looking saddle and fine looking padded barding.A lacerta warbeast is a special mount bred for war by the jann. The jann never legally sell these specially trained mounts of war to other races.Lacerta warbeasts look exactly like normal lacerta, except for being slightly larger and stronger and often sporting colorful tattoos or ritualistic scarring marks. They are always seen while wearing the prerequisites of war – an exotic war saddle, bit and bridle, armor, and saddlebags. Lacerta warbeasts rarely where armor heavier than light.The market price for a lacerta warbeast is 550 gp, amongst the Jann of the Fallenlands. This cost is times by 5 if sold illegally to another race.CombatUnlike normal lacerta, lacerta warbeasts are bred to be highly aggressive, which makes them invaluable as mounts during war.  A janni general won’t ride into battle unless he’s on his personal lacerta warbeast.Combative Mount (Ex): A rider on a trained lacerta warbeast gets a +2 circumstance bonus on all Ride checks. A lacerta warbeast is proficient with light, medium, and heavy armor.Skills: Lacerta warbeasts have a +1 racial bonus on Listen and Spot checks and a +4 racial bonus on Hide and Move Silently checks. *In desert areas, the Hide bonus improves to +8. **A lacerta warbeast has a +8 racial bonus on any Listen or Spot check to perform some special action or avoid a hazard.
