Anthropoghagus means that it is a cannibal, though technically it isn’t because it doesn’t eat other Lizards of Horlon. For further information, see Henry Darger.
Yes, anthropophagus does mean “cannibal” when applied to human beings, since the stem “anthro” refers to man – who is the object being eaten, “phagus”. However, the extension of the term to a non-human animal indicates that the object of desire remains man, so I would think that the Lizards of Horlon would refrain from eating their own kind. But watch out for those bloody cats!
