Erik Sprague (born June 12, 1972), better known as The Lizardman, is an American freak show and sideshow performer, best known for his body modification, including his sharpened teeth, full-body tattoo of green scales, bifurcated tongue, subdermal implants and recently, green-inked lips. Rumors that he hoped to get a tail transplant have been debunked by Erik himself, who states that it would be impossible.

The Lizardman makes his living as a freak, performing before audiences all over the world. He also makes numerous paid television and public appearances. He regularly performs many classic sideshow acts such as the human blockhead, fire eating and breathing, gavage, sword swallowing, the bed of nails, the Human Dartboard, the cranial corkscrew and the insectivore. He also participates in many public and private flesh hook suspension groups and events, and is highly involved in the body modification community. He also writes articles on the Body Modification E-zine. His rock band, LIZARD SKYNYRD, released an album in late 2010 and performed in many tours around the world. Erik recently gained the official Guinness World Record for 'Most weight lifted and swung from the ear lobes' or as he likes to call them "Those thin strips of flesh hanging from my head" on the set of 'Lo Show dei Record' in Milan, Italy on 19 Jun 2014. He also regularly performs with other sideshow celebrities and world record holders such as Chayne Hultgren, AKA: The Space Cowboy. Erik is features in many of the 'Ripley's Believe It Or Not' books and TV shows and there is a life size statue of him in almost every Ripley's Museum around the world.
