Special Qualities: Slow
The Sleestak are a reptilian bipedal humanoid species. They have a thin but wide-set mouths and large, round black eyes that are averse to light. Covered mostly in green scales, their bellies are yellow. Sleestak also have claws on their feet and on their hands, with a horn protruding from the top of their heads. They breathe with a pronounced breath sound as if breathing through congestion. This is probably due to their wide set mouth and flat nostrils. At one time, in the distant past, the Sleestak were known as Altrusians. They were a very peaceful and intelligent race. They eventually grew into an advanced civilization, and had seemingly mastered many (if not all) of the secrets of the Land of the Lost. They created cities and temples. Unfortunately, the Altrusians lost control over their emotions, and destroyed their civilization becoming known as the Sleestak. The Sleestak now are a degenerate race that have lost much of their knowledge and culture. The Sleestak are accomplished in the arts of building, foraging, and hunting, and make and use crossbows and nets to hunt. The crossbows are no larger than the size of a Sleestak’s forearm.

All games should have Sleestaks!
I love these guys. And they used to creep me the hell out. Also, you are looking at 100% of the “regular” Sleestak costumes that ever existed. They only made three, as I recall. There was that priest one too, though.
Wow, my memory muscle is aching…
Creep the hell out is right. But I soooo used to love them. Especially the one nice one that the human family met, who was travelling the world and had clothes. He was cool. I seem to recall there was a later reboot of that show (late ’90s? early ’00s?), and the sleestaks looked fucked up ridiculously silly.
One of those is Bill Laimbeer from the Pistons.
