	In 4th edition, it's stated outright that ssurans would exist on other worlds as "sandscale lizardfolk", and are literally just lizardfolk adapted to thrive in deserts rather than the customary swamps.

	In 5th edition, they returned in, weirdly, the [[Spelljammer]] setting. Complete with new artwork that looks weirdly like a 5e adaptation of the [[dray]], they are given the bare minimum of lore as simply "[[~~liardfolk~~]] who have adapted to arid climates that are found throughout [[Wildspace]]", to the point that Boo's Astral Menagerie outright says "use lizardfolk stats to represent these monsters"... even though the Hold Breath racial trait makes very little sense for a creature that would have realistically ''lost'' its quasi-amphibious nature. Interestingly, one of the two statblocks provided is the Ssuran [[Defiler (Dark Sun)\|Defiler]], which possess low-level [[psionics]] (Mage Hand at-will, Invisibility (Self Only) 1/day) and the "Defile" attack; a recharge 6 10ft burst of 4d10 necrotic damage (DC 11 Constitution save to halve damage) that also kills all mundane plantlife in the area of affect and heals the the ssuran defiler for 1d10 HP per target that fails their Constitution save.

	'''Ssurrans''' are one of two species of [[lizardfolk]] native to the [[Dungeons & Dragons]] setting of [[Dark Sun]]... despite the fact that originally it was said that lizardfolk had been wiped out during the Cleansing Wars. In contrast to the "normal" lizardfolk of [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]], who were more like amphibians than reptiles and thus needed to routinely moisten themselves, ssurrans are completely heat immune and so can survive in even the blistering deserts that make up most of Athas. Debuting in the 2nd Dark Sun Monstrous Compendium Appendix (subtitled "Terrors Beyond Tyr"), they have a fairly simple fluff that describes them as wandering, primitive tribes of cannibalistic raiders, who are often hunted by the humans and [[demihuman]]s of Athas because they are valued as [[gladiator]]s, bodyguards, trackers, mercenaries and even [[templar]]s when trained from their youth. Oh, and their skin can be made into a durable, heat-resistant leather armor. Their most notable trait is that they are lead by [[shaman]]s, who are [[multiclassing\|multiclassed]] [[fighter]]/([[elemental]]) [[cleric]]s.
