In the meantime, Unkulunkulu had a change of heart and for reasons unknown, decided to retract his gift of immortality. However, unfortunately for mankind, Uwaba took his own sweet time in fulfilling his task, slowly trembling his way across the great distance and even stopping every now and then to feast on delectable shrubs called Ubukwebezane. In essence, it was the Intulo’s swiftness that relegated it to a harbinger of doom.Īccording to Zulu folklore, Unkulunkulu (either a sky god or an ancestral spirit depending on which version you subscribe to) was in one of his generous moods and ordered Uwaba (a chameleon-like creature with humanoid traits) to deliver the gift of immortality to mankind. Since then, Russell’s theories have been met with many challenges from other palaeontologists, primarily on the contention that his “Dinosauroid” was overly anthropomorphic.įor the Zulu, spotting an Intulo especially in the home is an ill-omen of impending doom. In short, back in 1982, Russell presented a possible evolutionary path that might have been taken by the dinosaur Troodon had it not faced extinction, and theorised that it could have evolved into “Dinosauroid”, intelligent beings similar in body plan to humans.
Of all the theories, the one put forth by Dale Russell, curator of vertebrate fossils at the National Museum of Canada in Ottawa, sparked much controversy. The former is heavily premised on the continued biological evolution of pre-historic reptilians, even dinosaurs, and largely based along the same path as early primates.
Essentially, there are two leading theories – one based on evolution and the other on extra-terrestrials. It is no surprise that many theories have been put forward in an attempt to crystallise the undefined nature and origin of the Lizard Man. Thus, reported sightings of Lizard Man vary from scaly humans to large bipedal lizards, small dinosaurs and everything else in-between. Interestingly, despite possible disapproval from the grammar police, the term “Lizard Man” is used interchangeably to refer to a broad spectrum of bipedal hominid-like reptilian creatures (sometimes also referred to as “ Homo-subterreptus) instead of just one specific cryptid. The mere mention of the Lizard Man conjures creepy images of mutant-like humanoid reptilians.
