-*As a fast enemy, leopard geckos are inherently dangerous. If you get bad combat RNG against one, you can't [[pillar dance]] to save yourself. If you find a sleeping gecko on D:1, try to avoid waking it up (at least until you've leveled up).

-*They are one of the stronger D:1 enemies, but by the time you reach D:3, they shouldn't be much of a threat.
