Lizal, or lizalfos, is a broad and varied race of reptilian humanoids. Although they are practically as intelligent as hylians, lizal are callously heartless, and come off as alien and uncanny to outsiders. Lizalfos consider all races other than their own—and occasionally blins—to be either their natural enemies, or resources to be exploited.

Lizal creatures

Creature Challenge Summary
%PAGE% 2 A winged anthropomorphic lizard related to other lizal such as dinolfos. Their tactful swooping attacks can be difficult to fight against.
%PAGE% 4 A winged anthropomorphic lizard. Its powerful weapons and clever tactics make it more formidable than most aeralfos.
%PAGE% 8 Imbued with dark power, this dinolfos is a bit more powerful than most of its kind. It can even spew necrotic energy.
%PAGE% 5 A lizal warrior that masterfully wields swords and axes, and can even breathe fire.
%PAGE% 7 A winged anthropomorphic lizard. Unlike most aeralfos, this one can breathe fire and wields draconic power.
%PAGE% 16 This winged anthropomorphic lizard wields the legendary might of a golden monster, making it an almost invincible warrior and probably the most powerful aeralfos ever.
%PAGE% 0.5
%PAGE% 13 This winged anthropomorphic lizard wields the dark power of silver, making it among the most formidable and feared aeralfos ever.
%PAGE% 10 A winged anthropomorphic lizard. This variety of aeralfos wields supernatural power from birth, and can even cast a few spells innately.

 Diet. Although lizalfos are carnivorous, they are particularly fond of insects. As a Medium humanoid, each day you require at least 1 pound of food and 1 gallon of water to avoid exhaustion.
