Black Lizard

Black Lizards are blind lizards that find their way around with through hearing. Their hearing is much more advanced than normal lizards, and they will pursue sounds for long distances.

Found in areas of unnatural darkness, these blind predators are hard to see due to their environment and coloration. Thankfully, every so often their heads will glow grey, with their whiskers white. Black Lizards are the only Lizards to have whiskers, and if the slugcat nears or is touched by them the Lizard will then try to attack, as it knows for sure that something is there.

Due to their advanced hearing capabilities, they will investigate any sound they hear, even if it is other Black Lizards fighting (which happens often). This can be used to the slugcat's advantage, as throwing a rock in the opposite direction can lure them elsewhere or simply hoping for two to run into one another and start fighting.

Black Lizards take about 2 spears to injure and another 1 to kill, but if they cannot get to slugcat in a few seconds, they will often just run back to their den, as they are more cowardly than most other Lizards. They can be tamed with 4-5 Lantern Mice or Scavengers. If you tame a Black Lizard, all others in the region will become passive, which can be useful when travelling the dangerous subregion Filtration System.
