Poison Lizard

__NOEDITSECTION__
“Always the fastest never the lastest, Poison Lizard spits slowing toxins at its foes. Is it actually a venom lizard? Possibly, but who's brave enough to correct it?”
----
Level 1-10
==Summary==
*Poison Lizard is the seventh pet unlocked when the Pet House is upgraded to level 7 (this requires Town Hall level 15).
*The Poison Lizard attacks quickly at range with poisoned spit, which slows down affected Heroes and Troops, in addition to causing them additional damage over time (as if they were hit by a Poison Spell). It can also spit at buildings, but this causes neither slowdown nor poison damage over time.
*
==Strategies==
===Offensive Strategy===
*The Poison Lizard excels at taking down enemy Heroes, so can be paired with Heroes that intend to attack other enemy Heroes. It can fare reasonably against enemy Clan Castle troops and Skeleton Traps, though it can only attack one target at a time and is thus prone to being overwhelmed. Pairing it with the Barbarian King or Archer Queen can be useful to back it up against swarms of troops (or against multiple Heroes at a time) since their abilities can spawn additional troops to attack.
*The Poison Lizard boasts the highest damage per second of any Pet (when comparing Pets on an equal-level basis) even without its poisoning effect, so it can significantly increase the damage output of its Hero. However, its survivability is among the lowest of the Pets due to its low hitpoints.
**To boost its survivability, one can pair it with the Barbarian King, which it will generally be able to stay behind and thus get shielded from most sources of damage. The Grand Warden as an alternative pick is also viable, provided he is himself backing up other troops or Heroes, since he and the Poison Lizard can stay behind other troops to be sufficiently protected. However, the Poison Lizard has lower range than the Warden so it will be exposed to enemy fire when the Warden is alone.
*Headhunters can perform the same job as the Poison Lizard would for only 6 housing space, therefore, they are much more convenient to carry around, and they can be deployed anywhere.
**However, Headhunters are vulnerable to Traps, so in this situation, the Poison Lizard would fare better.
===Defensive Strategy===
*Against a Poison Lizard that is protected by a Grand Warden's ability, they can be countered by stalling their movement. This can be achieved by the use of a Tornado Trap, though one should consider whether protecting Heroes is worth using their only Tornado Trap for. An alternative for Town Hall 15 players would be to use a Poison Spell Tower, which while less effective, is more versatile and potentially reusable.
