Description
Fire Lizards are huge creatures that resemble wingless dragons. They are gray or tan in coloration, with mottled red patches and spots on their backs, legs, and heads; younger fire lizards are dusted with golden highlights that become dull and disappear as they mature.
Though they may be found sharing a lair, fire lizards are dull creatures which sleep most of the time if not hunting. If encountered in their lair, there is a 50% chance each is sleeping (roll for each individual) and will awaken in 2d8 rounds after any commotion begins (or in a single round if attacked). They do like shiny things, and a lair will contain treasure (as indicated above) scattered in haphazard piles.
A fire lizard's breath weapon engulfs a volume about 10 feet wide by 15 feet long, and a normal saving throw is allowed for half damage. Fire lizards are immune to normal fire and take half-damage from magical fire attacks.
