The Lizard Man is reported to be approximately 7-8 feet tall, bipedal, covered in green scaly skin and nocturnal. His eyes glow red at night and his head and face are like a cross between human and snake. He has a center ridge that comes from the top of his head to his snout. He is described as well-built and has only 3 digits on each of his hands or feet. His claws are reported to be black and ranging anywhere from 2-4 inches long. No odors or sounds have been reported in connection with the Lizard Man but, when you have 4 inch long talons, who really needs an offensive odor? He seems to reside in the Scape Ore Swamp of the Pee Dee River region including Sumter, Florence, Darlington and Lee Counties. He predominantly hangs about Lee County near the town of Bishopville, which has an approximate population of 4000.
Reports of the Lizard Man are said to have started in 1972 with oral stories but there are legends among the Native Americans of the Inzignanin near Chicora—sandwiched between North and South Carolina—of fishy humanoids covered in scales. However, these fish-men were only 5 feet tall, had relatively inflexible tails approximately 18 inches long and as thick as a man’s arm (similar to that of the alligators or crocodiles) and webbed hands. They consumed only raw fish and are said to have died out when the fish population was depleted.
