Blue Lizard

**Blue lizards** are the smallest of the lizard species in Rain World. They have a black body with small blue spikes or feathers that cover their bodies and tails and a blue head. Their colors can range from cyan to dark blue and tend to cling to the walls of their territory.

They are found in Industrial Complex, Subterranean, Farm Arrays, Chimney Canopy, The Exterior and Sky Islands, but can also spawn through lineages in Outskirts and Drainage System

## Abilities/Behavior

### Wall Crawl

Like their more deadly white cousins, blue lizards possess the ability to crawl on walls in the second layer. They tend to come down from above you rather than the sides, making it difficult to line a rock or spear up.

### Tongue

When ambushing, blue lizards use a combination of quick movement and their sticky tongue to catch their prey. Their tongue will snag on whatever creature it's hit and then the lizard will attempt to pull them into its mouth to deliver the killing blow. If they are hit during this reel in phase, they will drop to the ground and their tongue will go with them, leaving their prey free to run or attack. Blue lizards are also capable of pulling items from the player’s grip by using their tongue.

## Strategy

### Combat

They are not as durable or deadly as their white cousins, so when facing them its important to note their tongues are 1/3rd smaller in range and size. This means it's easier to dodge their tongues since they have to get fairly close to reel you in. If lined up with the ground or in front of slugcat, a rock to the face followed by spear to the exposed belly works very well. Blues usually die in two spear hits, and are gravely injured by one. If a blue is parallel to slugcat and is walking up or down, slugcat can easily throw a spear to kill them or stick them to the wall.

### Stealth

Their hearing and sight is lower than their white counterparts, so it's far easier to sneak past them. Provided you can stay crawling you should be easily able to sneak by.

### Evasion

They can be quick, but since their short tongues are their main weapons, it's easier to run from them provided you start far enough away. If slugcat is grabbed, a quick rock or spear to the face will knock out the blue and free it. They generally come from the top down with a pounce-like maneuver, so using the time they take to position their pounce to duck into a hiding spot or to run can be helpful.

## Taming

Blue lizards can be tamed very easily. Usually, one or two small centipedes works. If you are able to give it a whole large centipede that would speed things up as well. Since blue can crawl on walls, there are very few shelters it cannot follow slugcat in. They are generally passive once tamed and will not get into a fight unless their master is in danger. This can make them good for passing through areas with lots of creatures as they won't waste precious time fighting other animals.

## Trivia

* Blue lizards are Green lizards' favorite food, and are often killed by them.
* They have the lowest base toughness and bite damage of all lizard species. However, they are generally considered as the fastest species of lizard.
* Blue lizards appear to prefer centipedes as prey.
