The models in the above screenshots are the original lizard people/Melokaan/Bedokaan/etc. As of now, I have some files from an earlier build, and since the lizard people were changed really late in the development this build has the model. (Please don't ask me where did I get these files, or what files exactly do I have. I will release everything interesting eventually, anyway).
This model is in fact the only model that was cut from the game altogether. It was featured on the official site, and the ending slides for the Bedokaan were rendered using this model. Although, at the late point in the development (at some point after March) they made a new model for the lizard people, and changed the Waromon's portrait as well, so it'd suit the new model. So, this masterpiece of Leonard Boyarsky was thought to be lost forever.
The original model actually had a few problems, that's why I didn't release it immediately. The walking animation had a minor glitch in the game--the shadow spot was switching places at some frames. I figured that some x and y's were wrong. And, I've finally fixed the animation. Unlike the final model this one also has animations for being stunned, a gory death (decapitation in this case) and a lower attack with a bow.
Considering the artistic value of the model itself, I think it's pretty original. These lizard people look much more wild to me. Even a bit sly, perhaps. And (arguably) fit the Arcanum setting better than the colorful ones in the final version.
For now, the model (+ portrait) is released as a separate patch, you can just put the .dat file into your Arcanum folder and you will have the original lizard people. However, I may add this to the Extra Pack in the future.
Enjoy!
