Lizardon

Artwork of a lizardon from Rise of Mana

The Lizardon, also known as Biting Lizard or Pakkun Lizard, is a recurring enemy and boss in the Mana series. These blue lizards use their prehensile tongue to eat their prey whole, but can easily spit them up should somebody strike them hard enough. Most games consider it to be the mature form of the Tadpole.

General Information

Physical Description

Lizardons are overgrown blue, sometimes green reptiles with sizeable heads and stout bodies ending with a long tail. Their skin are usually shiny and smooth to the touch. Their pink or yellow belly can expand greatly to host their undigested prey whole. Some have ridges on the back of their head like dinosaurs while others sport a completely smooth cranium. Most installments will have the Lizardon sport a colorful frilled neck.

Attributes

Most Lizardons favor cool, damp areas to live in and raise their Tadpole offsprings. Caves, swamps, and humid forests are most likely to be their favorite places to settle at.

Lizardons' elemental affinities are not as consistent as some other enemies and therefore vary between games. Some installments make them strong against water and weak againt fire while others make them favor earth instead.

Variants

Like most regular enemies in the series, Lizardons typically have one other variant avaialable in each game, though there are exceptions.

• The Dragodon is a stronger green-skinned cousin of the Lizardon. They do not appear to have extra abilities compared to their weaker species.

• The Dark Lizardon is an elusive kind of Lizardon found in Sword of Mana. They can only be unlocked after destroying 1,000 regular Lizardons.

• Pakkuri Lizards and Pakkun Gators are exclusive variants to Rise of Mana.
