Lizardman shamans are giant reptilian humanoids that are stronger than their normal lizardmen and lizardmen brute counterparts. They are often sought after for their dragon warhammer drops. They never become tolerant to the player.

Three shamans reside in the western area of Lizardman Canyon via the handholds. These three shamans are present in a multi-combat area. Shayzien soldiers will not attack the shamans (nor will the shamans attack them), since they are busy dealing with a small group of normal lizardmen. Below are a couple ways to get there.

Players can check how many players are currently in the western area of the canyon by speaking to the wounded soldier outside the canyon, just south of the broken crossbow.

Warning: Be wary of more than one shaman attacking at a time as they can quickly stack up damage from their abilities and attacks, which can quickly end a trip. To avoid being attacked constantly by the nearby lizardmen and their brute forms, killing the ones in the north and south-west corners is recommended.

1. Use Xeric's talisman to teleport to Xeric's Inferno.
2. Run south through Lovakengj.
3. Once you've reached the south end near some giant bats and a house with a water source, head a bit west to reach some patrolling Kourend guards.
4. Go south into the canyon and down the handholds to the west.

Partial completion of Fairytale II - Cure a Queen is required to use the fairy rings. A fairy ring (code DJR) is nearby, just south of Lizardman Canyon.

Eight shamans reside inside a cave at the northern end of the Lizardman Settlement before Xeric's Shrine. This is a single-way combat area. This location requires players to be on a lizardman Slayer task. A dwarf multicannon cannot be used here.

1. Use Xeric's talisman to teleport to Xeric's Honour.
2. Run south-east to the Mountain Guide and travel to Shayziens' Outpost.
3. Once there, head west past some lizardman brutes.
4. The shamans are inside the Lizardman Caves, and Xeric's Shrine is due north past the bridge.

1. Use the fairy ring code: CIR — requires partial completion of Fairytale II - Cure a Queen.
2. Run south past the farming guild.
3. Run over the bridge past the Shayzien soldiers guarding the exit of the bridge.
4. The shamans are inside the Lizardman Caves, and Xeric's Shrine is due north past the bridge.

Fairy rings Lizardman Settlement - (Slayer Only Cave)

1. Use the fairy ring code: BLS — requires partial completion of Fairytale II - Cure a Queen.
2. Run north over bridge through to Lizardman settlement.
3. Run north through lizardmen brutes.
4. The shamans are inside the slayer only cave with Captain Cleive, there are 4 combat areas with 2 lizardman shamans each.

Lizardman shamans have standard ranged and melee attacks, so one should use Protect from Missiles and stand at a distance. Unlike most monsters, lizardman shamans are able to attack with melee diagonally if the player is in range.

Lizardman shamans have several special attacks that they can utilise during the fight. Excluding the spawns, these attacks do not have a cooldown so it is possible for a lizardman shaman to repeatedly use the same ability over and over again.

• A green acidic attack that will deal 25-30 damage. Wearing tiers 1-4 Shayzien armour will reduce the damage of this attack greatly; wearing a full set of tier 5 Shayzien armour will completely negate this damage. This attack can also inflict poison that ignores prayers starting at 10 damage.
  • Players who have completed the hard Kourend & Kebos Diary can talk to Captain Cleive to be able to wear their Slayer helmet or Slayer helmet (i) instead of a Shayzien helm (5).
• A jump attack that targets a small area where the player was previously standing on. If the player is in that landing area when the shaman crashes down, they will be dealt with 20-25 typeless damage. This jump has a 3x3 AoE (2x2 in the temple, with the player's position as the north-east tile) and is not used if the jump location is obstructed.
• Lizardman shamans can summon 3 small purple spawns that appear next to the player (indicated by the ground shaking). After a few seconds, the spawns will explode. The damage dealt is anywhere from 5-10 depending on the player's proximity next to them; their explosion covers a 5x5 area (3x3 area in the Lizardmen Temple), or a 2 tile radius from them (1 tile in the temple).

The following money making guides are available for Lizardman shaman:

Drop rates are estimated based on 292,640 samples from the Drop Rate Project, unless otherwise cited.

The average Lizardman shaman kill is worth 11,476. Excluding the dragon warhammer, the average kill is worth 6,455.00.

The average high alch value of a Lizardman shaman kill is 4,268. Excluding the dragon warhammer, the average kill has a high alchemy value of 4,245.00.

There is a 45/500 chance to hit the herb drop table.

There is a 10/500 chance of rolling the tree-herb seed drop table.^[1]

There is a 20/500 chance of rolling the rare drop table.

There are 2 Combat Achievement tasks (totalling 2 points) available for Lizardman Shaman.

• Killing a lizardman shaman is required to complete a master clue scroll skill challenge assigned by Sherlock.

• A lighter variant.
• A darker variant.
• The variant found in the Lizardman Temple.
• A lizardman shaman dwarfs a nearby player.

• When the Chambers of Xeric was released, two shamans were added into the Lizardman Settlement. Unlike the shamans at the canyon, these did not require 100% favour. This led to backlash, as it removed the primary incentive to gain Shayzien favour. These shamans were eventually removed in favour of a task-only area on 13 July 2017. In the same update, safespots in the canyon were removed.
• On release, shamans could summon spawns in quick succession. This was changed in an update on 8 February 2018.
• It's possible to click on the shaman's hitbox during its jump attack. However, it cannot be attacked until it has landed.
• Poison dynamite cannot be used on lizardman shamans.
• Lizardman shamans enjoy eating chilli potatoes.^[3]
