## History

Lizardmen are half-human, half-beast creatures created from
human experiments. They don't retain much memories of their human lives,
becoming mere servants for the priests to order around. The Lizardman featured
in the American and European releases of Soulcalibur 2 is one of the many
Lizardmen created by Fygul Cestemus to do their bidding. Though they don't have
in-game backstory or ending, they have a profile of their own in the
"Soulcalibur II Official Complete Guide". The guide states that the
lizardmen are used in two main groups: the first one to collect fragments of
Soul Edge and the second one as loyal slaves. There were some rumors claiming
that the lizardmen's leader, the transformed human Aeon Calcos (also known as
Lizardman), was set free of the brainwashing by the power that defeated
Nightmare, so the sect Fygul Cestemus is using stronger spells on the remaining
lizardmen to avoid such incidents. In battle the lizardman uses the sword and
shield called "Gyulkus Weapon". They are cursed weapons given by the
sect Fygul Cestemus to carry on battle. There are two types of their shields,
one is based on Sophitia's Gladius, Fire Blade, and Synval designs, and the
second is based on Cassandra's Spine Blade, Metesashi, and Dark Blade shields.
Also, his fighting style is a mixture of the two characters'.

Lizardmen are also featured as common enemies in Soulcalibur
Legends. They appear similar to the lizardman's first, third, and fifth
costumes in Soulcalibur 2. However, unlike their Soulcalibur 2 counterparts,
they wield axes resembling the ones Aeon Calcos uses. They also possess the ability
to use some sort of blue breath weapon.

Generic lizardmen also appear in Soulcalibur 3, although
one can only play as them using cheats. They appear as a "Prepare to
Defend Yourself!" challenge where the player must defeat 20 of them in
quick succession. They use pot lids and chicken legs as weapons in this
instalment. After this installment, the generic lizardmen apparently choose to
follow the leadership of the more intelligent, more powerful Aeon Calcos,
serving as his personal soldiers.

The Generic Lizardmen/women are also featured in one of the
stages in Soulcalibur 4, carrying ludicrously oversized knives and forks,
waiting for one of the fighters to lose so they can feast on the unfortunate
individual. If a fighter is slammed against one, he/she will fall into the
water surrounding the arena. In some characters' story modes, the generic
Lizardmen must be fought, along with their master, Aeon Calcos. When playing
Calcos' story mode, he will be accompanied by a generic Lizardman wielding Meat
on the Bone as a weapon (note that the playable generic Lizardman is actually a
redesigned version of Aeon Calcos' alternate costume using Character Creation
parts).

The Generic Lizardmen in Soulcalibur II are renowned as the
"most agile" character(s) in the game. But, this is mainly when the
game is played on the Ultra Hard or Extremely Hard difficulies. Occasionally,
in Team Battle and Extra Team Battle, the player may have to fight the team of
three Lizardmen (even though the player can only have 1 of a character, so the
player can never have the same team), which usually occurs as the very first
battle.

By Soulcalibur 5, most of the Lizardmen who were free of the
cult had died. However, a new cultist, the former assistant of the now deceased
original creator, is taking care of research now, and apparently despite there
being less individuals, new varieties of Lizardmen are appearing.
