Lizard

A lizard may seem at first like an unassuming monster, but in fact it is very helpful to any aspiring adventurer.

Killing a lizard always leaves a corpse. Eating lizard meat, whether from a corpse or a tin, will cure stoning from a cockatrice. It is usually better to eat the corpse since opening a tin may take many turns, and lizard corpses do not rot. Because of this, it is wise to keep at least one lizard corpse in your inventory.
