Down in the Dungeon / Exploring Zarakan's Dungeon, 1981, but art was late 1970s says AZmountaineer. Absolutely awesome stuff. So inspirational, I gotta use it soon.
This artist/author combo loved reptiles, I approve. Maybe b/c they (the company making this) were from Texas?

Orcs at Time 6:25.
- From 1981, could THESE be the first green orcs, and especially repitlian (sort of)?!
- TWO types of orcs. Me n the kid spotted it before we heard the details...
- Man-orcs are the taller slightly more orange ones. Couldnt be halforcs.
- 1983 dns cartoon grren reptilian with dog noses
- 1983 Gamorrean guards, pig noses
- 1983 warhammer… ? I guess the ones similar to warcraft 1.
- Great art all around magic users, man-orcs, orcs, gold dragon, gargoyle, ancient Egypt stuff, cool surrounding painted rocks, caves, paths, water.
I don't think they see this giant lizard. This isn't the same lizard that the wizard lizard has, but enlarged,huh?
From a distance you see a knight with shining armor astride a black warhorse. Perhaps friend, perhaps not. (approach). Then you notice, it is no horse, but a reptilian monster with feet like dinosaur.
The orcs have very reptilian feet here. Note some have 3 fingers+thumb some have 4+thumb.
Orc leg on right has scales. Ones on left show facial hair.
Wizard with Lizard. He's too snakelike to the giant one, huh?
Assassin/thief style backstab.
No Exit. Only deeper (undrawn possibility at "the end").
BTW, buyer beware here, but seems to host some free 1 page dungeons: https://alldeadgenerations.blogspot.com/p/pdf-adventure-archives.html
