In DnD Lizardmen and Bards aren’t really all that compatible. But I like mixing stuff that doesn’t work well together.
His story is that a college philosophy teacher heard someone mention that Lizardmen are cold and emotionless. The professor thought this was racist, so he traded a lizard tribe an egg for a bunch of T-bone steaks. His plan was to raise that egg to become a bard, thus showing the world that a lizardman could learn art.
It was a mixed success at best.
