While most adventurers dream of engaging in thrilling battle with dragons, the many reptiles and amphibians of the Dungeon are still fierce foes for the aspiring hero. While they can't breathe fire, their bites are usually dangerous, and some have additional abilities as well. Fortunately, they are all cold-blooded, making cold damage particularly useful for fighting them.

Lizard Types
