Cyan Lizard



Cyan lizards or Leapzards are dangerous predators which only spawn naturally when playing as the Hunter. Equipped with sticky tongues and the ability to launch themselves at high speeds after their prey, these are among the most persistent enemies in the game. They can only be found in other difficulties by spawning in the place of previously killed lizards through the lineage system. Usually when hit by a spear, their leaping ability goes haywire. They rapidly jump in random directions until a faint noise is heard before death.

Abilities/Behavior
Cyan lizards are primarily black in coloration with eyes and mouths that glow with their cyan coloration. Their markings appear to flash when hit with projectiles.

This variety of lizard acts similarly to blue lizards, with the ability to walk on walls and snatch prey with their short tongues. The tongues are slightly longer and more robust than their Blue relatives. What earns them the name Leapzard is their ability to make sudden, rapid jumps to quickly clear large distances. With their ability to quickly and unpredictably close out any distance between the Slugcat and their added toughness, these predators are a fearsome threat. They are marked with blue neon circles on the side and spots on their leaf-shaped tail.



Taming
Cyan lizards make some of the best pets in-game, due the unique jumping ability which allows them to be long term companions. Because they are able to navigate across any sort of terrain that the player is able to traverse, they can bypass the many obstacles which regularly prevent a tamed lizard from following the player between areas. While not being as adept at combat as their green or red brethren, their ability to accompany you as you journey through the sprawling expanse of Rain World is a notable benefit.

Cyan lizards have been known to take anywhere from 1-3 feedings in order to tame. Although this number remains unconfirmed, they appear to take uncommonly few feedings to tame. Be careful not to hit them with a rock or spear, however, as this often results in permanent hostility towards the player.

Combat in conjunction with a cyan lizard can be very difficult at times. While they are able to contribute to fights with other lizards and even scavengers, the risk accidentally spearing them or hitting them with a stone is high, and their health pool tends to rest at around 2 - 3.5, making them quite fragile when faced with some of the worlds stronger predators. They do not show the same tenacity fighting other lizards as they do hunting the player, but are still useful for inflicting a modest amount of damage, and distracting the enemy. But despite this, cyan lizards seem exceptional at freeing a player trapped in another lizards jaws, as their jumping ability allows them to close distance with the enemy very quickly.
