Blue Lizard

Blue Lizards are one of the species of s found in the game. They appear predominantly in the early-game, with some rare appearances in the mid- and late-game. They are the smallest and weakest species of Lizard and are sometimes preyed upon by some other Lizards. Blue lizards are also likely to be the first wall-climbing Lizard the player may encounter.

Blue Lizards have a 20.0% or 1/5 bite lethality rate.

Appearance
Blue Lizards come in a range of blues, from cyan to lavender. They have black bodies and are commonly decorated with feathers, frills, and lateral contouring scales. They are also noticeably smaller than all other Lizard varieties and often may have shorter, stubby tails.

Combat
Blue Lizards are not very durable, making combat an effective choice against them - even one single hit is enough to nearly kill them. However, it can be tricky to get a good angle on them due to their ability to climb on walls. Hitting them causes them to fall off the wall, granting an opening to attack, and baiting them into an area where they are forced into a chokepoint and hitting them with to flip them over, then stabbing them, is a good strategy to dispatch them with. Additionally, a Blue Lizard latching on with their tongue grants a good opportunity to easily throw a Spear into their mouth. Blue Lizards only take 2 Spear hits at most to kill, and frequently bleed out after only one.

Stealth
Blue Lizards have worse hearing and vision than other wall-climbing Lizards, making it possible to sneak around them with ease. They usually stick to climbing around the borders of rooms but may deviate if they're tracking down something. Throwing Rubbish or using some sort of other sound distraction usually keeps them busy for long enough to get past.

Evasion
Blue Lizards are not the fastest Lizard but make up for it with their mobility. Running away from them in horizontal rooms is relatively easy, but if going upwards they can quickly close the distance, thus it's recommended to stay away from vertical climbing sections when evading them. Hitting them with Rubbish or a Spear stuns them momentarily, causing them to drop off the wall and potentially buying time to get away.

Wall Crawl
Blue Lizards can walk on room backgrounds, giving them much more mobility than the average Lizard. Hitting them when they are walking on walls knocks them off.

Tongue
Blue Lizards possess a short tongue with which they can latch onto their prey. When their tongue has hit something, they are immobilised until they have either successfully reeled in their prey or they get stunned.

Taming
Blue Lizards have average taming difficulty, typically requiring 2-4 feedings.

Blue Lizards can be taken across many regions due to their wall climbing, but have very little power or durability, meaning that they often lose fights and die. For this reason, they are not very good picks for companionship beyond being a meat-shield.
