In the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, the troglodyte is a fictional race of primitive reptilian humanoids.
Troglodytes are described as being shorter than a human, with spindly but muscular arms and squat legs. It also has some lizardman-like traits with a reptilian head and forearms, a spinal crest, and a long, slender tail.
A troglodyte is usually chaotic evil in alignment; they are considered mostly hostile towards humans and other races.
The god of troglodytes is Laogzed.
