C.H.O.W DOWN #3 - THE LIZARD KING

[RottenPocket]

Feb 01:

From the dry lands to the south, in the expanding red stone deserts, one name comes whispered on the lips of refugees and merchants alike. The Lizard King. Some say he is a great beast like the dragons of old. Others swear he is only one of the humanoid Lizardmen, though larger, stronger and older than any of his kin.
One thing is known, the Lizard King is a savage force to be feared and fled from. He leads his armies north as we speak.
(Make a powerful ruler, chieftain or god-king to rule over the Lizard tribes and unite them in warfare. You can make him humanoid, a massive beast, etc. as long as he/she is reptilian in nature. Be creative and have fun!) 

Whattup peeps,

At a painful 90kps download speed I managed to

put together a mood board to start off with. 

Basically 'The Lizard King' reminds me of Godzilla, 

which is already popular in a modern setting so I

wanted to flip that setting to something more

prehistoric. Dinosaurs after all were named such,

as 'Terrible Lizards'. Ironically Godzilla gained 

a huge global following when, it goes against

what is Japan's most prominent feature in their 

monsters. i.e. the most terrifying monsters are 

those that closely resemble human beings.

I didn't want another giant beast, nor just some 

generic lizard humanoid. I'm going for something

primal, natural in its setting but still seen as a 

sort of deity by lesser races. He's the oldest and 

largest of his kind, and has an inherent dominance

over all his lower related species. Such a huge being

slumbers for decades at a time, in a place seeded 

deep within uninhabited forests. When the time

comes, he wakes, and he feeds.
