Lizards were supposed to be a joke aesthetic choice. But like lagg said, people do kinda take them too seriously, playing as a lizard. And now we have so many mutantraces that people can play on round start via spacebux. But our mutantraces for regular crew are kinda lackluster.
Lizards and some others were started as jokes, but it has strangely evolved in the terms of how the community plays as them. Since the races are taken seriously by players but in practice are like 80% aesthetics, 19% gimmick, 1% mechanical differences , there has always felt like a big disconnect there. It feels like they aren't joke races like they initially were and now are just badly implemented alien/mutant races. And I think doing things to them to make them feel more unique, more alien, more wacky, is what will make them more fun.
