A variety of giant lizard which is found only underground,
the subterranean lizard is most aggressive and dreaded,
for it is able to run
along ceilings or walls as easily as floors because of
its suction cupped
toes. Worse still, its horrible teeth inflict great wounds,
and it can cause
double damage on hits where it clamps both jaws firmly
on its victim
(indicated by a die roll of 20). As with most other lizards,
it typically drags
its prey to its lair before devouring it.
