A lizard-lion is a large semi-aquatic reptile native to the bogs of Black Marsh.

About

Lizard-lions resemble partially submerged logs floating still in the water. They live in the water, in slow streams and deep swamps, and have teeth like daggers.

Culture

The Argonians of Black Marsh will sometimes use lizard-lions as mounts, though they are wholly unsuited to living outside Black Marsh and quickly die. Additionally, lizard-lions are famously difficult to domesticate, making "tamed" beasts only semi-tamed and incredibly unpredictable. Fully domesticated lizard-lions as of yet do not exist, though they are one of the only animals the Argonians have been able to make use of in any practical domestic manner.
