Lizard Man

About Lizard Man

Lizard Man is a fictional character from the Masters of the Universe franchise. His only appearance is in the 1980s cartoon series He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.

Appearing in two episodes of the series, Lizard Man is a member of the Heroic Warriors. As his name indicates, he is a cross between a man and a lizard, and although shorter than most of his battle comrades, his main attributes are his speed and agility, as well as his eagerness to battle Skeletor and the evil forces.

Lizard Man is notable among the many characters of the Masters of the Universe mythology by having never had an action figure made of him, despite his cartoon appearances. Planned as an action figure by Mattel in the early stages of the toy line, he features in the early episodes, "She-Demon of Phantos" and "Song of Celice", to promote a possible upcoming figure. However, over time he was eventually scrapped by Mattel and his action figure was never made, thus consigning him to the realm of obscurity among MOTU characters. Lizard Man's final cartoon appearance is a brief background cameo during the final scenes of He-Man and She-Ra: A Christmas Special, where he is seated at a table next to Mekaneck.
