At that time, there were no intelligent creatures in the swamp.
The Nine-Headed Dragon did not want to leave the swamp.
So, it mixed its own blood with mud and, releasing a tremendous power, created the Lizardmen.
That is why all Lizardmen have the blood of dragons.
The awakening of the Lizardmen's elongated jaws proved this very point.
The Nine-Headed Dragon then taught the Lizardmen how to tame magical beasts and survive in the swamp.
It cared for the growth of the Lizardmen with the attentiveness of a father.
However, the Nine-Headed Dragon's unauthorized creation of life angered the gods.
The gods demanded that the Nine-Headed Dragon destroy the Lizardmen, but it chose to defy the gods to protect them instead.
In the end, the Nine-Headed Dragon traded its life to the gods for the Lizardmen's right to exist. Its body fell and turned into Blood Crown Mountain, eternally sheltering the Lizardmen.
