The Reptilians: Difference between revisions

Line 99:

* [[Ancient Astronauts|The Watchers]] from ''[[Dark Void]]'' are manipulative shapeshifting reptilians exiled into [[Another Dimension]] by early humans. In keeping with this trope, their [[Bizarre Alien Biology|life cycle]] is based on metamorphosis: they emerge from the egg as larval, wormlike hatchlings, and they pilot [[Powered Armor]] suits as basic mooks. As they get older and more intelligent, they grow arms and legs and become more snake-like; they also get to pilot something like an alien [[Humongous Mecha]]. Finally, the Elder form is the most intelligent, and can shapeshift to perfectly mimic a human appearance. These serve as spies in human society and leaders for the rest of the species.

* The Cardianon in ''<nowiki>~Star Ocean: The Last Hope~</nowiki>''. Originally a primitive race, the [[Big Bad|Grigori]] accelerated their evolution, and provided them with knowledge that led to them becoming one of the most technologically advanced races in the universe in a very short span of time, but also turned them into a bunch of fanatical planet conquerors. They look like somewhat reptilian humanoids in the lowest stage of evolution they're seen in, but their more advanced forms are traditional lizardmen, then dragonmen, and lastly, full fledged dragons.

* The Tarka from ''[[Sword of the Stars]]'' evolved from lizards but are very human-like, resembling [http://sots.rorschach.net/images/9/95/SotS_TarkaMale.jpg scaled apes] more than actual lizards. They are a highly civilized and pragmatic [[Proud Warrior Race Guy|warrior race]] whose empire is a few thousand years older than human civilization, and are presented as sympathetic if fairly machiavellian, warlike, and prone to picking on those weaker than themselves.

* The turn-based strategy ''Space Empires 4'' has red lizard-people with vaguely [[Star Trek|Starfleet-esque]] ship designs as one of the possible appearances for your chosen empire.
