THE LIZARD MEN

Half human, half dinosaur, these hybrid creatures are a smart but dangerous bunch. Their civilisation is almost Roman in appearance. Even their ways are similar to the ancient Romans - they have coliseum's and play slaves off as gladiators. The lizardman we encounter most is Tribune a very intriguing character if ever I saw one. Cunning, sly and very deceitful, Tribune is a perfect example of what the Lizardmen are like. However, sometimes, they are not all bad as Tribune showed in the episode "All or Nothing". He saved Roxton's life for his own personal gain, yes, but was more grateful than he seemed when they helped him by "repaying" his gratitude. 

THE ZANGA TRIBE

The Zanga are one of the peaceful and are one of the few friendly tribes to Veronica and the explorers. They have been visited by many different outside cultures over the centuries as evidenced by their proudly worn collection of clothing, headgear and armour. Assai, the Zanga Chief's daughter is Veronica's best friend. Indeed they have grown up together since childhood in the Lost World. The Zanga Village serves as a refuge to the team when the Ape Men attack and take Assai hostage. The Zanga rally to protect everyone in their compound while planning her rescue.

CAVEMEN (TROGLODYTES)

These primordial creatures are quite often found in The Lost World. Whenever the gang comes upon them, they appear to be hostile, savage creatures who only want to eat our poor explorers. However, there is more to these hairy flea-bags than meets the eye. In one episode, Veronica finds a baby - a human baby - and is surprised to eventually learn that the baby belongs to one of the cavemen's female mate. Unfortunately the father of the baby is injured, but the female caveman was taken in by Veronica who felt guilty about taking her child in the first place.

AMAZONS

These delightful looking creatures (to some) have often been called "Amazons". They are a small village of Warrior women who can fend for themselves, cook for themselves and most certainly take care of themselves. Strangely, there are no men around their village. The reason for this is simple, but also disturbing; Every so often, the time comes for the women of the Amazons to fight each other for entertainment, the winner choosing a 'stud'. They must then mate with them and then do something terrible - feed them to the local cannibals to keep them at peace.

GIANT BEES

Scared of bees? So you should be if you come across any of this lot in your back garden. About the size of a domestic dog, these critters have a sting in there tails - literally. If they stab you with their stings, you will be poisoned and quickly die. However, as the old saying goes, for every rule there's an exception. You can be cured from this deadly poison, but only by nectar from the hive, which means endangering your life by venturing deep into the honeycombs of the hive, retrieving the nectar and feeding it to the person who has been stung. Best to stay indoors, I think.

ICEMEN

They came from outer space... literally. A meteor crashed onto the plateau, bringing forth these strangely coloured creatures. They cannot survive in warm temperatures as they need icy cold temperatures in order to survive. All well and good, yes, but unfortunately, once the meteor crash, the cold that they need to survive on started to spread all around the Plateau, and we all know that humans cannot survive in sub zero (below freezing) temperatures let alone the other life on the plateau (such as  Dinosaurs and the other tribes). According to the official site, they're "creatures" but they look human.

SEA SERPENT

A mythological creature that resembles what some would call a 'Wyrm' (a dragon without wings). I suppose another example of a sea serpent is the Loch Ness Monster. This sea serpent guards the waters that surround the plateau of The Lost World. It can swim through even the shallowest of sea waters and be unnoticed by those who are trying to escape by boat. In the episode "into the fire", our explorers had to face one of these beasts when they attempted to use a boat to escape the plateau. As far as I know, the sea serpent generally lives off general sea life (kind of like a whale would)

THE WITCHES

There's something about those lovely men in The Lost World that all the women seem to like. However, they don't like them in the way we would. High on the 'use them and lose them' theory, these three Witches lure poor Ned Malone and John Roxton into their trap (guess you could say they 'had them under their spell - ed). In the typical tradition of Witches (and taking a slightly character build up from the 1993 film Hocus Pocus) these three witches are all sisters. The leader is the serious, bitchy one and the other two are more of the ditzy witch variety (and the redhead gets to kiss Malone! Grrr)

VAMPIRE WOMAN

Vampiric in design but more brutal by nature, this brutal creature of the night is a dangerous one to look out for on the plateau. First seen in the episode "Bloodlust", this vampire-being bit Roxton, giving him a thirst for not only blood, but also raw meat. A trail of dead raptors, sabre tooth tigers and even people can be seen wherever this foul temptress may go. She also has a very hypnotic way, luring others into her trap - some might say she uses magical forces, others, pure beauty. Either way, this vampire woman is most certainly evil. Keep the garlic handy!

CELTIC DRUIDS

No, they're not a basketball team. These eerie looking creatures may remind you of the Black Riders from Lord of the Rings, but they hold darker secrets leading back to The Lost World's very own Marguerite Krux. Performing sacrifice rituals at a place that looks alot like Stone Henge (on the Plateau?!), the Druids date back to possibly BC times and are a heavy religious cult. Turns out having Marguerite in a prophecy isn't the only secret they hold about her. Not only does she have the birth mark, but in "Trapped" she quite literally found herself in a former life... entombed.

VOODOO QUEEN

She's sexy, she's cute, she's popular to boot... With cavemen who are under her spell, anyway. Hardly something to be proud of. Beautiful but brutal, this is the kind of woman that every man wants to get their hands on, but no man wants to see the angry side of. When we meet her she lures Roxton into her spell using voodoo, aiming to have him become one of her zombified fanatics, who love her unconditionally. Luckily, his friends were able to rescue him from the predicament.
