Lizardman

character from cl-ssic, 1999, sega dreamcast 3d fighting game soul calibur, by namco. one of over a dozen colorful characters, lizardman was a large, armored, scalp-locked lizard who walked erect and carried a sword and shield. he communicated to his opponents on the “stage of history” through grunts, snarls, roars and gestures.

in 2000, in a house just off-campus from syracuse university where soul calibur tournaments were a daily staple, it occurred to one of the players that lizardman’s inarticulation might be a source of angst for the warrior reptile. it also occurred to this player that lizardman’s outsider status could give him a source of strength. finally, it was collectively decided in the house that lizardman’s bittersweet dilemma was best expressed through early-1980s glam and heavy metal.

in 2001, a two-minute song of questionable musical taste, based on the chord progression of danzig anthem “mother,” was recorded in honor of lizardman. mercifully elusive, it can be found in mp3 format.
