Strawberry Lizards, also known as Zoop Lizards, are a species of Lizard exclusive to Downpour. Characterized by their small size and ability to traverse terrain with their long tongue, Strawberry Lizards are fast and deadly. They are exclusive to Sanktulo's campaign unless lineaged.

Appearance

Strawberry Lizards are small, scrawny lizards adorned with frills. They have light pink heads with hair-like structures. If lineaged, Strawberry Lizards are missing these hairs on their heads. Strawberry Lizards are one of the few Lizards to have a white body and have unique frilled tails. Snow can accumulate on their bodies.

Combat

Strawberry Lizards are slow and clumsy on the ground and have difficulty climbing poles. Despite this, they pose a significant threat due to their long tongue, which they use to grapple towards their prey at high speeds. Strawberry Lizards also have the second highest bite lethality chance at 65% or 13/20. For this reason, close combat can be risky. Rocks can be used to stun Strawberry Lizards, and Cherrybombs scare them away. Grenades and Explosive Spears can be used to kill Strawberry Lizards from a distance. Strawberry Lizards can be killed with 3-5 Lancos.

Other Lizards consider Strawberry Lizards prey. Taming another Lizard or luring a Strawberry Lizard near other Lizards may assist the player in killing them.

Stealth

The Strawberry Lizard's keen eyesight makes them difficult to sneak around, as they can spot Slugcat from across a room. However, Strawberry Lizards may be distracted by other prey, such as Batflies. By throwing a Batfly in a Strawberry Lizard's line of sight, they prioritize the Batfly over Slugcat, giving time to escape.

Evasion

Strawberry Lizards cannot outpace Slugcat's walking speed without the use of their tongue and have difficulty traversing uneven terrain and poles. Their tongue attack can be avoided by making note of its wind-up, in which Strawberry Lizards slow down and hiss before attacking. Due to their rarity, it is normally possible to path around them. Taking low-visibility routes or moving quickly through the use of movement tech like slide pouncing can also help avoid them.

Abilities & Behavior

Grapple Tongue

While pursuing prey, Strawberry Lizards can shoot out their tongue and pull themselves to the location of where it landed. They can grapple on terrain, background walls, and other creatures. Strawberry Lizards' tongues are the same length as a White Lizard's, and their tongue ability has a short cooldown.

Strawberry Lizards only utilize this grappling ability when pursuing prey and do not employ it in any other situations.

Senses

Strawberry Lizards have poor hearing but compensate with an extremely large field of vision.

Taming

Strawberry Lizards are relatively easy to tame, taking 1-2 feedings to fully tame. Feeding them dead Batflies is the easiest way to tame them.

Strawberry Lizards are very agile and can follow the player into almost every region using their high mobility, though their lack of swimming ability makes them unable to traverse Shoreline and Drainage System. While easily tamed and easy to travel with, their unremarkable strength makes them especially vulnerable to most Lizards and other predators.

Relationships

Variants & Attributes

Strawberry Lizards have no possible variation in color and are always the same pastel pink, specifically #F2BABA. This color may vary due to room lighting but is not affected by room darkness. Their bodies have no hue variation and are always white.

Strawberry Lizards in Sanktulo's campaign may have different types of horns on their heads, which can vary from spikes along the top of their heads to spurs on their noses.

Strawberry Lizards have six possible cosmetic features: SpineSpikes, LongHeadScales, WingScales, ShortBodyScales, LongShoulderScales, and BumpHawk. While these may occur on any Strawberry Lizard, they always have the TailTuft cosmetic. Strawberry Lizards are most commonly found with SpineSpikes and LongHeadScales.

When snow begins to accumulate on a Strawberry Lizard, their pink coloration fades into a dull gray. Once the snow has been shaken off, they return to their usual pink color.
