'Lectric Lizards grow to an average size of 5' from head to tail. Generally only agressive when defending their territory, they are a social animal and almost always found in small groups.

The charged air generated by a group of 'Lectric Lizards allows them to hunt without much effort, as the charged air often stuns or kills small prey without effort by the lizards. As such, they are often reluctant to pursue fleeing targets (25% chance only) preferring to let their food come to them later.
