Green Lizard

The green lizard a species of lizard that is solely mobile on the ground. It is the first lizard the player will likely encounter. They tend to be the heftiest lizards, making them very durable, slow, and strong. They are typically large with a black body and very prominent green head, tail, and sometimes spikes.

They are found in Outskirts, Industrial Complex, Subterranean, Chimney Canopy, Garbage Wastes and Farm Arrays, but may also spawn through lineages in Drainage System.

Any place with lots of ground access has a good chance of them spawning. They resemble large gators usually both in color and shape. Variants tend to acquire more frilly spikes, especially in Drainage.

Charge Attack
Like other lizards, green lizards have a special charge attack they will rev up before lunging at you, but tend be slow other than that. This is signaled by the green lizard salivating a lot before growling in a revving motion before charging forward, snapping up slugcat should he be in the way. Often times however, green lizards will perform this attack even if they are on lower ground, making them sure to miss. In the case of a miss, it will be stunned for a brief moment, leaving the lizard vulnerable to a counter attack. Green lizards have by the the highest "LungeTendency" stat, meaning they will charge much more frequently than other lizard types.

Combat
Fighting tends to be fairly easy. The simple smack with a rock in the face and then spear works and if it ever charges at you, backflipping, jumping, or just being on higher ground will let you avoid getting bitten. After being speared 3 times, green lizards will lose interest in slugcat and try to flee back to their homes. It takes at least 5 spears to cripple this lizard, and one more if you wish to kill it.

Stealth
Sneaking past these guys is simple as they will not notice you unless they see you or hear you and they tend to just move in one direction continually, making it likely for them to bypass you completely. When in doubt, crawling works very well.

Evasion
They are rather slow unless they are charging. And are also clumsy even when biting. So you can easily backflip over them or just run in one direction. In most cases you will outrun them. When in doubt, higher ground is the one thing that stops them dead in their tracks.

Taming
Very easy to tame, 2-3 blue lizards, scavengers, or squidcadas will typically do the trick.

Trivia

 * Greens are the laziest lizards, often letting you jump on their backs or get fairly close to them without lunging
 * Greens tend to be aggressive to other greens more often than not. This is due to their high "AgressiveRival" relationship with other greens in the code. This is the highest inter-species aggressiveness in the game
 * Greens have the second strongest base damage per bite with the first being Red
 * Greens are the only lizards immune to living grass, this is not a glitch but an in code feature
 * Greens are also the only lizards that will fight vultures instead of running away from them, but king vultures are an exception.
