-Most early lizards are unremarkable and easy to handle, including the lizard itself. Of the few that can actually trouble players, the chameleon's difficulty is entirely dependent on what it shapeshifts into, and it is fairly likely you may encounter it in an easy-to-dispatch form; conversely, the salamander does not even appear in a game normally until [[Gehennom]]. The crocodile is capable of inflicting severe damage unless fought with care, but has a lower speed that can be taken advantage of.
