Answer 3

Snakes have ties to evil spirits in lots of cultures, but not many have evil tied to lizards. However, in England there was the legend of Saint George, who drove all of the dragons from England, and so this could mean that dragons were evil according to that legend. There are also the Komodo dragons, which are gigantic lizards which actually do prey on small children if given the chance, and about whom the inhabitants of the area say there is always evil. The Gila monster of Arizona is another lizard, though I don't know the legends on those.

In most Earth religions, snakes play a beneficial role. And even in the Old Testament in the Bible, there is a snake on a tree which represents the messiah.

It depends on whom you ask, mainly, as well as under what conditions.

Answer 4

yes because pazuzu was mixed with a lizard god from the sumerian desert, and pazuzu was a sumerian demon itself .
