Combat: Mud Lizards do not attack but out of defense, and to feed. They latch onto creatures that fall into the mud and become trapped, feeding from their blood like a leech. Due to the preserving qualities of the mud a human can provide them with blood for a week before they are drained completely.
Attempts to burn packs of these lizards proved near impossible due to the cool mud they are coated in,before the discovery of these lizards those who stumbled upon the bodies believed that vampires lived in the bogs, and swamps where the victims were recovered ... delaying their discovery out of fear of the undead, which proved their greatest defense for many generations.

Habitat/Society: These lizard's live in the muddy earth of bogs, and swamps feeding from creature's who fall into the mud. They are comprised of packs that number six, to twelve lizards with the largest, and most aggressive lizard as the leader. This status gives him the sole right to the prime blood sucking spots of a creatures body, for humans it would be the neck.
Sometimes two packs will merge and create a larger group, especially if each has few males or females, and the other pack has more of what's needed to balance the group.

Ecology: These lizards usually live for fifteen years or so, breeding for seven of those. Eggs are laid upon the edge of mud pits, or bogs near the surface to absorb heat. In just two weeks the eggs hatch into half and inch long lizards that feed from insect blood as their teeth are still too small to puncture larger prey. The children live this way for three months during which time they grow into a full size lizard, able to feed from larger prey after two and a half months of the growing period.
Once completely grown the new children are ran out of the domain of the first generation to seek their own territory.
