In the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, the troglodyte is a reptilian humanoid. A troglodyte is shorter than a human, with spindly but muscular arms and squat legs. It also has a long, slender tail.
A troglodyte is usually chaotic evil in alignment. The stench of an angry or frightened troglodyte is so foul that it sickens all living creatures nearby, even after the troglodyte dies.
The god of troglodytes is Laogzed.
