Were lizardmen ever popular in English-language fantasy novels, though? I think of them as more of a video game phenomenon.

They were big in the sword and sorcery/Conan the Barbarian corner of fandom. Less so in the High Fantasy Tolkienistic section. But they were always kinda there, somwhere.

I tend to read indie instead of trad but yeah, they were very popular in my little corner of sword and sorcery fantasy until about two years ago.

Even Terry Pratchett called out this trend in his book The Last Hero with the characters explicitly asking what happened to all the lizard-men in the text.

Dragonlance had a ton of them as a major plot point, they were always around in the Conan/Red Sonja stuff too.

Huh. I thought of the ones in Dragonlance as more like dragon-people, but I guess they were mutated enough that they weren't really dragons anymore.
