Were Form (Su): At first level, a Werelizard can take lizard form. The Werelizard must choose to either become Crocodile, Monitor or Horned Lizard at 1st level. This choice cannot be changed hereafter. While in lizard form, a Werelizard cannot use weapons but gains a bite attack dealing 1d6 damage; dependant on type chosen there are different modes of movement are allowed. They're all medium sized regardless of previous size. A Werelizard can transform 1/day/HD, and can remain transformed indefinitely.

At second level, a Werelizard can assume hybrid form. While in hybrid form, a Werelizard gains two claw attacks for 1d4 damage each and a bite attack dealing 1d6 damage, and can wield any weapons they could use in humanoid form. Both Were Forms are medium sized, regardless of the creature's humanoid size.

Lunar Hide: At 2nd level a Werelizard gains DR/silver equal to half it's HD.

A Werelizard of 12 HD or more may choose to become huge by expending two normal transformations.
A Werelizard of 16 HD or more may choose to become gargantuan by expending three normal transformations.
A Werelizard of 20 HD or more may choose to become colossal by expending four normal transformations.
Sharpened Bite: At 3rd level a Werelizard’s bite becomes even more deadly. Their bite improves to 1d8 + Str Modifier Damage. As well at this point the Werelizard has become so use to biting that it gains Improved Natural Attack (Bite).
Curse of lycanthropy: At 4th level a Werelizard can transmit lycanthropy to other creatures. If a medium or large humanoid or giant is hit by their natural attacks while they are in Were Form, the creature must make a fortitude save(DC10+1/2HD+Con modifier) or contract lycanthropy. For more information on lycanthropy, check the lycanthrope entry in the monster manual.
Devour (Ex): Whenever a Werelizard deals damage with its bite attack, it regains a number of hit points equal to half the base damage inflicted (bite damage+Str mod). Any excess gained becomes temporary hit points which last for a maximum of one hour.
