Lizardfolk Mystic | Free Monster for D&D and PF2e

July 19, 2025
Posted by Luke Hart

While most lizardfolk are creatures of action and impulsivity, some still prefer to operate from behind the front lines. Lizardfolk mystics draw their power from the sea and seek to become one with the water. They clothe themselves in fabrics that ripple like waves and adorn themselves with white plants that resemble seafoam.

The Way of Water. The mystics are the lizardfolk who believe that water is the most powerful, destructive, and mysterious force in the world, and they should aspire to obtain unity with it. They gain their abilities by spending hours wading into the sea, training themselves to feel the push and pull of the water and internalizing it within themselves.
