Black Lizard

Black or Mole Lizards are pitch black members of the lizard species with small white whiskers and a white head, and little variation in appearance between individuals. They move and hunt in the darkest regions of the world using only sound and touch.

Black lizards can be found in Subterranean, Filtration System and Shaded Citadel.

Advanced Hearing
Since Black lizards are blind, they cannot see you, but they can hear you very well. Where they normally reside tends to be very cramped and as such when you make any movement they will easily be able to figure out which direction you're in.

Combat
Very easy to kill, they can take up to three spears but are very sluggish. They have very poor bite success percentages and homing abilities, but their low aggressiveness minimizes the chance one will save you from the jaws of another. The real threat is a group of them cornering you from two sides in a pipe. But the old rock to the face then spear to the belly works very well here. Be aware that killing a Black lizard in a pipe requires it to be retreating from you, as its head will protect it from any lethal blows.

Stealth
Easy to stealth by them provided they are not crawling towards you by default. Going into a tunnel either above or below the direction they're headed is enough to avoid them, so long as you don't jump too much or throw anything.

Evasion
Easy to evade, provided you're not cornered. They will go in the direction they last heard you, so crawling down or up or to a side and just getting out of their way allows you to avoid them pretty easily. They're also quite slow and can only change elevation by climbing through pipes, so tunnel-dashing in vertical pipes can be effective. If one is heading your way, you can also throw a rock or spear in a different direction and it will usually go that way.

Taming
Easy to tame, it takes feeding them about 4-5 lantern mice or scavengers and will follow you into a shelter. Also has the added effect of placating the rest of the Black lizards in the current area into a passive state.

Trivia

 * Their heads will glow white when they are alerted to a sound.
 * Black lizards have the lowest Aggressive Rival stat between lizards types (Orange lizards' relationship being classified as pack in the code). Because of this they appear to tolerate living with groups of their own kind more than the other lizard species do.
