RPG_Tweaker said:I've never used the D&D version of Troglodyte. I remember reading the entry in BD&D and wondered where the hell they came up with a stinky lizard-guy. Especially since they already had Lizardmen.
This is more what I expected the Troglodyte to be like.

Maybe they're just trying to distinguish them from liqardfolk.Cthulhudrew said:Why, though? I can't think of any cave dwelling lizards offhand that are stout and muscular. There really doesn't seem to be any reason that they should be, and since that's not how Trogs have been traditionally, this seems like change just for the sake of change, with no real rationale behind it.

Without being those stupid armadillo-men, they really do.Lurks-no-More said:Hmm, looks a bit like an armadillo or one of those armored dinosaurs, doesn't it?
Works for me; troglodytes haven't exactly been prominent monsters in most settings and adventures that I know of.
