There's a lizard added on current mob database , but it doesn't have any fins like your concept have.
I was thinking about do a new lizard, or add a fin to the current lizard (over his/her head?).
I tryed to understand how you did that awesome work, and here's a concept of a possible monster:
(GIF preview doesn't keep your transparent fins, so it's just a preview with white background mixed)
You could develop it easier, you know how to create that nice texture with your pallete after all, I'm just ctrl+c/ctrl+v your work.. sorry for offtopic.

Well, I actually haven't post my idea anywhere, so here it goes: my idea was to revive AxlTrozz's temple (the one with the snake on the wall) http://forums.themanaworld.org/viewtopic.php?t=2244, and make it the realm of the evil Lizard Queen. I imagine that realm inside a huge cave ("Reptilia"), with lots of torches and reptiles all around, maybe some traps as well. I imagine that queen to have a pet, the snake lord or something, that guards the entrance of her chamber.

So your lizard, and other monsters with scales would be most welcome for that project =) For the transparent fins I used the pencil tool on GIMP with 30% opacity. For the scales, I followed this pattern:


(more or less ) - tip: the scales usually grow in one direction, normally from the head to the tail

I absolutely LOVE this idea. It would help to tie some of the story together too, as the temple is referred to in one of the tales Khafr tells. My mind is already sprouting some base concepts for quests that could fit.

pateame, I worked a little bit on your lizard texture and also with the fin (btw, the opacity for the blue part is 40% and for the red part is 45%...also note that, as the fin is translucent, the other part of the lizard is still visible), anyway here is what I came up with, maybe it is a good basis for your work
