A Lizardfolk Snake Oil Salesman in Dungeons & Dragons is a character who combines the traits of the Lizardfolk race with the archetype of a traveling, often deceitful, peddler. Lizardfolk are reptilian humanoids with a natural affinity for survival in swampy or marshy environments. They are typically depicted as pragmatic, unemotional, and focused on practicality, with a culture centered around survival and resourcefulness. However, the concept of a Lizardfolk Snake Oil Salesman introduces a layer of cunning, persuasion, and trickery that goes beyond the usual depiction of the species.

In the traditional sense, a snake oil salesman is someone who sells dubious or fake remedies, often with exaggerated claims of miraculous healing properties. The term has come to symbolize deceptive practices aimed at making quick profits. In this case, a Lizardfolk character who adopts this role may possess all the traits of a con artist, using their strange and mysterious appearance to enhance the believability of their false claims.

This character might travel from village to village or even within the swamps and forests, offering "magical" potions or elixirs to adventurers and townsfolk. The products they sell could range from supposed cures for ailments, to elixirs that promise to enhance strength or longevity. Given the Lizardfolk's natural resilience, their sales pitch might be that the concoctions are based on secret, ancient recipes or ingredients found only in their swampy homeland.

While the Lizardfolk might be perceived as honorable by their own standards, their snake oil business could be viewed with distrust by outsiders. They may possess skills in persuasion and deception, using their knowledge of herbalism or natural remedies to create concoctions that seem potent but are ultimately ineffective or harmful. This blend of survival instinct and deception allows the Lizardfolk Snake Oil Salesman to thrive in the world of Dungeons & Dragons, adding an element of humor or moral ambiguity to the campaign.
