Lizalfos

Lizalfos in *Breath of the Wild* have adapted to their environment by being able to camouflage in with their surroundings, even adhering to walls. They use this new ability to ambush an unsuspecting Link. Using a bow is among one of the most reliable strategies to defeat them, as one or two shots to their heads will take them out. There are many different types of Lizalfos in *Breath of the Wild*, such as the standard Green Lizalfos, or Fire-Breath Lizalfos. If meat is dropped on the ground in front of them, they will pick it up and eat it, restoring 100 percent of their health.Lizalfos in *Breath of the Wild* are based upon chameleons, sharing their ability to change colors and extensible tongues, as well as a passing resemblance to species such as Jackson's chameleon. Unlike chameleons, aside from bipedalism, Lizalfos are tremendously fast and swift creatures, to the point that they can keep up with a horse at full canter.Lizalfos in the game are shown to be markedly intelligent (considerably more than Bokoblins and Moblins), and are shown to have conversations in their rudimentary language, as well as being well-versed in sophisticated metallurgy for armor and weapon making.If Link wears the Lizalfos Mask or Majora's Mask in front of a Lizalfos, the Lizalfos will not attack him, but instead investigate him, though if Link hits the Lizalfos while wearing the masks, the Lizalfos will attack. (If it's a pack of Lizalfos, if Link hits one member of the pack, the pack of Lizalfos will start attacking.)When slain, basic Lizalfos will drop Lizalfos Talons or Lizalfos Horns.

### Blue Lizalfos

A slightly stronger variant of the Green Lizalfos. Often seen wielding reinforced lizal-weapons, such as Lizal Forked Boomerangs or Strengthened Lizal Bows. Upon death, they may drop a Lizalfos Tail.

### Black Lizalfos

Even more powerful than the Blue variant, these Lizalfos are usually the leader of their pack. They attack quicker, and carry stronger weapons, including the Lizal Tri-Boomerang.

### Fire-Breath Lizalfos

An Ice-Breath Lizalfos

*Main article: Fire-Breath Lizalfos*
This variant of Lizalfos appears primarily in hot regions of the game, such as on Death Mountain. They act in a very similar way to regular Lizalfos, but have a new ability; being able to breathe fire. Link can avoid taking damage here by holding out his shield, or, if he has all three pieces of the Flamebreaker Outfit equipped and enhanced at least twice, the fire will deal no damage at all. Upon death, the Fire-Breath Lizalfos will drop a Red Lizalfos Tail, in addition to some miscellaneous Lizalfos items.

### Ice-Breath Lizalfos

*Main article: Ice-Breath Lizalfos*
Often found in the coldest regions of the game, these Lizalfos have the unique ability to spit out many icy balls at will. If these balls come into contact with Link, they will freeze him, and leave him vulnerable to other attacks. Upon death, they will drop an Icy Lizalfos Tail.

### Electric Lizalfos

*Main article: Electric Lizalfos*
Electric Lizalfos are typically found in the Gerudo Desert, where they lie in wait beneath the sand before jumping out to ambush Link. They can create a dome of electricity at will, which can force Link to drop his metal equipment. They will drop a Yellow Lizalfos Tail when they are taken out.

### Silver Lizalfos

A Cursed Lizalfos
These are the most powerful versions of the Lizalfos in the regular mode of the game. They are much more aggressive than any other versions, and have faster attacking speed, especially with bows. They can carry elemental arrows, and have significantly more health than weaker variants. Upon death, they can drop rare materials such as Sapphire or Topaz, as well as an assortment of Lizalfos goods.

### Golden Lizalfos

Golden Lizalfos are found exclusively in Master Mode, and have more health than their silver counterparts, though they carry the same weapons and drop the same items.

### Stalizalfos

*Main article: Stalizalfos*
This variant of Lizalfos only appears at night, and behaves very similarly to creatures such as Stalchildren from previous games. They only have 1 HP, but when struck, their heads will drop to the ground, and will need to be destroyed in order to be fully rid of Stalizalfos. They often appear in groups of 2 or 3.

### Cursed Lizalfos

*Main article: Cursed Lizalfos*
The Cursed Lizalfos only appears in areas tainted by the Malice of Calamity Ganon. They appear identical to the heads of Stalizalfos, though they are engulfed in a dark aura. They tend to spawn from a certain area of Malice, so destroying the source will prevent them from appearing.
