Lizard Priest

Lizard Priest is one of the main characters of Goblin Slayer. He's a lizardman adventurer who is a member of Goblin Slayer's party.

Appearance
Lizard Priest is a lizardman with green skin and with horns on his head. His intimidating visage and towering stature make him an unnerving, imposing figure even to his friends. He has what appear to be tribal tattoos in the form of white marks across his cheek. He wears what is presumed to be traditional garb among the priesthood of his people, along with a chest guard.

Personality
Most of the time, Lizard Priest carries himself in a calm and composed demeanor, often speaking to others politely and addressing all in a respectful manner. He cares deeply for nature due to the tenets of his religion. In the light of recent events, he is now extremely enamored with the taste of cheese, which he calls "nectar", and finds extremely exotic, as his people do not practice the art of raising livestock.

Goblin Slayer Volume 1
Lizard Priest arrives alongside his companions, High Elf Archer and Dwarf Shaman, to ask Guild Girl about Goblin Slayer's location. Eventually explaining to him that they are representative adventurers for a coalition of races fighting against the Demon Lord and have come to recruit his aid. While Goblin Slayer is initially uninterested, Lizard Priest manages to recruit him by revealing that their mission is to destroy a nest of goblins who have become a problem for the elves.

While traveling to the ruins where the goblins have taken up residence, the party, now consisting of Lizard Priest, his companions, Goblin Slayer and Priestess, stops to rest. Lizard Priest roasts a beast he had hunted and shares with everyone except Archer, who is a vegetarian. While eating they discuss their theories about where goblins come from and why they became adventurers, with Lizard Priest sharing that he was taught that goblins come from an underground kingdom and that he wishes to become a Naga like his ancestors respectively. Later when Goblin Slayer is prompted to share his cheese, Lizard Priest is able to try it for the first time and proclaims it to be the "nectar of the gods".

After venturing into the ruins, the party comes across a tortured elf, and Lizard Priest summons a Dragontooth Warrior to carry her to safety. When the party eventually makes it the main hall, he helps Goblin Slayer and Archer slit the throats of all the goblins Priestess and Dwarf Shaman put to sleep. Then after they are discovered by the Ogre leading the goblins, he summons another Dragontooth Warrior and a Swordclaw to aid in the battle. He ends up facing the Ogre head on after Goblin Slayer is briefly incapacitated and his warrior is crushed by ruble, before Goblin Slayer ultimately kills it. In the aftermath he heals Goblins Slayers wounds using his Refresh miracle.

After their initial mission together, is is reveled that Lizard Priest, High Elf Archer and Dwarf Shaman all moved into the town near Cow Girl's farm, when they arrive at the guild hall to buy Lizard Priest some Cheese. He is also preset when Goblin Slayer arrives at the hall to ask for aid in defending the farm, and helps keep Archer from making a scene. He later participates in the battle at the farm, finishing off many of the goblins knocked down by other adventurers.

Goblin Slayer Volume 2
He along with the rest of the party take Goblin Slayer on an adventure in some ancient forest ruins, as part of his payment to High Elf Archer for her aid in the battle to defend Cow Girls farm. After dealing with some goblins they return to town, and shortly thereafter Goblin Slayer invites them on a quest to slay Goblins in Water Town.
