Lizalfos

LIZALFOS

Darunia will be distrusting of Link at first, and will ask Link to prove himself by heading down to a nearby cave, which was once the main source of their food until Ganondorf blocked it off and filled it with monsters to starve them into giving up the ruby, and clearing it out.

One of the monsters filling this cave are loud squeaking lizard creatures brandishing swords. These are the Lizalfos, who will go on to be regular players in the Zelda series, appearing in almost every major installment alongside their slightly bigger cousins, the Dinolfos.

As fighters, Lizalfos will be quick and agile, with great jumping abilities and decent strength. Their moveset will pull from all of their major appearances, incorporating moves from the Dinolfos as well and the wings of their aerial cousins, the Aeralfos.

Likelihood rating: Piranha Plant clause.
