Pink Lizard



The Magenta lizard (also called the Pink or Purple lizard) is the first pole climbing lizard the player will likely see in the game. They tend to have a black body with a variation of pink or purple coloration in their spikes, heads, and tails.

They can be found in Outskirts, Industrial Complex, Garbage Wastes, Sky Islands, Shaded Citadel and Chimney Canopy, but may also spawn in Drainage System.

Pole Climbing
Pink Lizards have the ability to climb up poles and will follow slugcat so long as the pole is not broken.

Combat
The strategy of stone throw to the face and then spear to the tender belly works very well. Just 3 spears will cripple this lizard severely. If it's on a pole it's easy to knock it down with a rock, but it also makes it more difficult to find a safe place to stand to do it.

Stealth
Average hearing abilities mean it's actually easy to make noise with a rock to draw the lizard there and go on ahead when its not near you. They tend to be easier to avoid alerting so long as you move slow and out of their range of vision. When stealthing remember that jumping on a pole makes noise but climbing on one does not.

Evasion
So long as you can go to a high place with no pole access they are easy to evade. They cannot climb walls so they are relatively easy to evade so long as you're not in an area surrounded only by poles or flat ground.

Taming
Can be tamed with about 1-3 scavengers or squicadas, will follow you into any shelters with pole access.
