Erik Sprague (born June 12, 1972[1]), better known as The Lizardman, is a freak show and sideshow performer, best known for his body modification, including his sharpened teeth, full-body tattoo of green scales, bifurcated tongue, subdermal implants and recently, green-inked lips. Rumors that he hoped to get a tail transplant have been debunked by Erik himself, who states that it would be impossible.

The Lizardman makes his living as a freak, performing before audiences all over the world. He also makes numerous paid television and public appearances. He regularly performs many classic sideshow acts such as the human blockhead, fire eating and breathing, gavage, sword swallowing, the bed of nails, the Human Dartboard, and the insectivore. He also participates in many public and private flesh hook suspension groups and events, and is highly involved in the body modification community. He also writes articles on the Body Modification E-zine.[2] His rock band, LIZARD SKYNYRD, released an album in late 2010 and performed in many tours around the world.

The Lizardman was born in Fort Campbell, KY, and was a Ph.D. candidate at the University at Albany before beginning his transformation.[1] He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy from Hartwick College in Oneonta, New York.[1]

The Lizardman has toured with The Jim Rose Circus and hosted the Jägermeister Music Tour, with bands including Disturbed, Slayer, and Slipknot.[1]

He resides in Austin, Texas, with his wife Meghan and their pet ferrets.[1]
