The '''Swamp lizard''' is a versatile, two handed weapon that facilitates the training of not only the [[Ranged]] skill, but also [[Magic]] and [[Strength]]. As such it requires Level 30 in [[Attack]], Ranged, and Magic to wield. To be operated, the swamp lizard requires its requisite fuel, [[guam tar]].

Even though the swamp lizard is the weakest of the salamander class of weapon, it is the most costly salamander because it is the tertiary ingredient used in making [[swamp titan]] pouches. As such, it has become a popular item for Hunters.

With 29 [[Hunter]] Swamp lizards may be obtained through use of [[Deadfall_trap#Net_Trapping|net traps]], buying them from other players, or by buying them from the [[Grand Exchange]].

Swamp lizards can be hunted south of [[Canifis]] in [[Morytania]]. Many medium levelled hunters hunt swamp lizards for money. Players should watch out for [[Ghast]]s while hunting Swamp lizards. Many players hunt swamp lizards because of the constant demand, therefore guaranteeing them a good price. If constantly hunting with two nets, the average amount of cash earned per hour is 160,000 coins. This will increase with 3 nets at a time.The amount of money earned per hour is also increased, when a familiar is used with the ancient magic spellbook. Using the [[kharyll teleport]] to teleport to canifis for fast banking.

The swamp lizard will not appear under the player's [[gravestone]] if he/she dies.
If held in a beast of burden when the beast is dismissed, they will appear on the ground.

Swamp lizard can be used as a melee, Ranged, or Magic weapon. This proves to be effective in [[Player killing|PvP]]. As they will not know which attack style you will switch to next, you can prey on their weaknesses. This is at the cost of some power, and unreplaceable ammo.

When using a swamp lizard set to give strength experience, you gain 0.4x the experience for the amount that you hit.

When using a swamp lizard set to give ranged experience, you gain 0.4x the experience for the amount that you hit.

When using a swamp lizard set to give magic experience, you gain 0.2x the experience for the amount that you hit.

==Trivia==
*The attack speed of the swamp lizard when using the flare (Ranged) attack style is 6, which is similar in concept to the rapid style of most ranged weapons.
*It is currently possible to use this item on the melee setting to attack monsters that could not previously be attacked with a melee-style attack, for instance [[Aviansies]] and even [[Kree'ara]] in the [[God Wars Dungeon]].
*It is the only salamander without the word "salamander" in their name.
*It has been reported that while doing the [[Knight Waves Training Grounds|Knight Waves Training Grounds]] mini-quest (unlocked upon completion [[King's Ransom]]), the salamanders do not count as a melee weapon, even while on the melee setting.
