Appearance

Abilities and Powers
Lizardtail is capable of emitting an aura which regenerates those in the area: causing wounds to close quickly and mend.<ref name="list">Lizardtail - Aura regenerates those in the area. -Parahuman List; bolded edit by Wildbow</ref><ref name="21.6">Lizardtail’s power was pressing against me, even from the other side of the street. It penetrated my costume to the skin, making my skin tingle and ensuring that I was always aware of where he was. It was like the sensation of standing in front of a fire, just close enough to feel as though that heat had a physical form, just close enough to be bearable. It wasn’t hot, though. It was cold, if anything.

Lizardtail’s power pressed even harder against me. I could feel the edges of my injuries tingling, the wounds slowly knitting closed. Far slower than they should have been, given the earlier demonstration of Lizardtail’s power. Either he was weaker, or her ability to inflict wounds that progressively got worse over time was taking away from the power of his regeneration.
Butcher had a grip on Regent, threw him into Biter with enough strength to take the two of them out of the fight.
Possibly enough strength to kill one, if Lizardtail’s power wasn’t able to outpace the internal damage done. - Excerpt from Imago 21.6</ref>
Skitter notes that his power feels like "standing in front of a fire, just close enough to feel as though that heat had a physical form, just close enough to be bearable. Instead of feeling hot however, the sensation is almost like a chill. The sensation was directional, making everyone aware of exactly where he was.<ref name="21.6"/>
His power reached across an entire street.<ref name="21.6" /> However, Parian didn't feel it when they met, suggesting it can be switched off.<ref name="I21" />
Since Doctor Mother claimed there are no true healing abilities in Worm, it is possible Lizardtail's ability to regenerate others is an extension of another ability.
History
Background
Like all their capes, Liardtail was a trusted member of the Ambassadors before recieving his powers.
Post-Slaughterhouse Nine
Lizardtail was recruited and given powers by the Ambassadors alongside Jacklight, Ligeia, Codex, and a fifth recruit. Accord lent him to the Undersiders in exchange for Tattletale's analysis of his power.<ref name="21.6" />
He was among the "firepower" Accord brought to a hostile meeting with the Undersiders.<ref name="I21" />

Trivia
The Ambassadors had another lizard-themed cape before Lizardtail; a man in a green dress shirt who wore a copper lizard mask. He died fighting the Slaughterhouse Nine.<ref name="19.x">Interlude 19 (Donation Bonus 1)</ref> This may be why Lizardtail's mask doesn't actually resemble a lizard.
