A Reptilicus can be distinguished from a Reptilicus Hunter by its generally darker coloring, as well as the spiny protrusions located on its back, similar in appearance to the flora on Bryyo. They are large, lizard like creatures with six limbs, standing on their back two legs when wishing to attack and for intimidation. They appear to wear a skull-like mask on their faces.

They use highly advanced technology despite their appearance; they have the ability to teleport and use high-tech weapons, including an electrical whip-like weapon, some form of boomerang and some kind of projectile weapon, possibly arcane. They are resistant to Fuel Gel but weak to extreme cold, so it is possible that they originate from one of the warmest regions of the planet. Bryyonian texts also claim that newborn Reptilicus used to be ceremonially bathed in Fuel Gel, so it may be that they just have evolved a resistance to the substance. They definitely have a resistance to fire, as they do not burn when hit by the Plasma Beam. Reptilicus also use Warp Hounds for assistance, creatures that have been trained to ambush enemies, and that share the teleporting ability of the Reptilicus. Warp Hounds are most often used by Reptilicus Hunters over the standard Reptilicus, showing that the Hounds are used for hunting purposes as well as guarding.
