Critic Lizard
CR \u00bc N Magical Beast
<\/strong>This green lizard is the size of a large rat. A crest flickers up from its forehead, displaying a riot of changing colors.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Critic lizards are desert reptiles with occult senses. They are useful as watchdogs, not because of their ferocity but because of their ability to detect emotions. A critic lizard that senses hostility or fear will flee and hide, and a canny observer can use critic lizards to track the passions, greed and devotion of others. They also are sufficiently paranoid to constantly check their food for poison, and react to venomous animals by fleeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Critic lizards are omnivores, eating fruits, flowers, insects and small vertebrates. If kept as pets, they much prefer to be fed than to forage on their own, and can grow fat and lazy if their keepers allow them to. Critic lizards are somewhat standoffish\u2014they do not like to be picked up or pet except on their own terms, and will hide their crests if kept caged or chained. People living with critic lizards find them to be affectionate in their own way\u2014if they are happy, they display colors that occultists read as reflecting trust and comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A critic lizard can be taken as a familiar. A spellcaster with a critic lizard familiar gains a +3 bonus on Sense Motive checks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
