Name Generators: Lizardmen & Salamanders

this illustration is one of mine

Sometimes you want some names for your lizardfolk. When designing these I used the monitor lizards from Brian Jacques' "The Pearls of Lutra" as my north star: "Lask Frildur" is a perfect lizardman name. I incorporated a lot of "boggy" sounds into these, with lots of croaking, hissing, and skittering noises. Talking like a lizard should be fun.

Olm Names

a cave salamander

Olm are the blind salamander-people from Patrick Stuart's "The Veins of the Earth". They live in cold underground streams and are an exercise in talking to a human-like intelligence that isn't oriented around sight, warmth, or regular meals. I tried to pick sounds that a cave salamander would be familiar with: dripping water, flowing water, splashing water, water running over rocks, and the sound of rocks tapping together underwater. A couple of syllables are instead drawn from high-pitched whistles and exhaled breaths.

Olm names are three syllables long. Roll d30 three times on the table below, then roll 1d3. Place a hyphen after the numbered syllable (a roll of 3 is effectively "no hyphen").

d00 Roll	Syllable	d00 Roll	Syllable
1	Atch	16	Pool
2	Blib	17	Poolp
3	Blip	18	Rik
4	Blop	19	Saa
5	Deep	20	Shas
6	Dip	21	Sish
7	Dool	22	Skar
8	Dop	23	Tam
9	Drib	24	Tap
10	Kee	25	Tip
11	Klik	26	Tok
12	Kop	27	Tom
13	Lug	28	Top
14	Nok	29	Uff
15	Plash	30	Vish

Samples: Nok-deepdrip, Deeplugblip, Bloptap-pip, Plashtop-pip, Vishtokvish, Dooltom-pool, Tomatch-plash, Saa-riktok

Hopefully these are also fun to say, with their combination of sighing sounds and quick rhythmic taps. I particularly like "Saa-riktok"

You could also use these for Kuo-toa names. Eagle-eyed readers may note that it is possible to recreate "Blibdoolpoolp" and "Dooldipdop" with this table (these are the only two kuo-toa names that I'm aware of).
