Lizard Man enemy line

A Lizard Man as they appear in Dark Dawn.

The Lizard Man (リザードマン), Lizard Fighter (リザードファイター), and Lizard King (リザードキング) are enemies that are battled throughout the Golden Sun series. These monsters, resembling bipedal humanoid lizards that are lightly armored and wielding axes, are palette swaps of each other that have differing levels of power and defense and are fought at different locations in the games.

In Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age

Lizard Man

A Lizard Man is a normal-sized level 10 variant with light-green-colored scales, light-blue gloves, and a purple loincloth. In Golden Sun it is first fought throughout Mercury Lighthouse, both randomly and in one scripted encounter near the entrance when one individual blocks a surprised Mia's path, and Isaac's party steps in to fell the monster. It is subsequently fought in the overworld region of Angara around Fuchin Falls Cave.

While not the fastest of the monsters in the Mercury Lighthouse, the Lizard Man has the highest HP and Defense and pretty much the highest Attack as well, so it is a "main" monster to focus on during battles in the location. It is only possibly outperformed by the much faster Siren.

A Lizard Man's statistics are as follows:

Name	HP	PP	Attack	Defense	Agility	Luck
Lizard Man	129	0	106	31	30	2
Elemental Resistances		Turns	Exp	Coins	Item Dropped	Drop Rate
127   100   100   72		1	42	52	Nut	1/32

A Lizard Man uses these battle commands:

Command	Chance to use	Elem. Stats used with *	Description
Attack	6/8 (75%)	{{{command1usedwith}}}	Standard physical attack.
Water Blessing	2/8 (25%)	{{{command2usedwith}}}	Enemy ability where the user generates a blue mass of watery yet gaseous matter at the party of Adepts. Deals a Mercury-aligned attack with a power rating of 25 and a range of 3 (the Adepts at either side of the specifically targeted Adept will only take 50% of the attack's force, instead of the normal 80%, however). Lizard Man uses this with a Mercury elemental power rating of 100.

Lizard Fighter

A Lizard Fighter is a large variant with with blue-green-colored scales, violet gloves, and a yellowish loincloth, and it is level 17 in Golden Sun and level 24 in The Lost Age. In Golden Sun only one individual is ever fought; it is accompanied by two Rabid Bats in the second of four mandatory scripted encounters that occurs while on the Tolbi-bound Ship. In The Lost Age, however, it becomes a traditional random monster that appears throughout the interior portion of Aqua Rock.

The battle with the one Lizard Fighter accompanied by two Rabid Bats on the ship is easily won if you use area-of-effect offensive Psynergy like Fireball, and is made all the easier by the fact it is slower than the bats. In its appearance in Aqua Rock, it is outclassed in various ways by the other monsters, such as the Sea Dragon which is better in every statistic by quite a fair margin, and it is the slowest of the monsters in the Rock, making even faster monsters like the Roc and Faery all the more noticeable.

A Lizard Fighter's statistics are as follows:

Name	HP	PP	Attack	Defense	Agility	Luck
Lizard Fighter	212	0	204	61	60	2
Elemental Resistances		Turns	Exp	Coins	Item Dropped	Drop Rate
127   100   100   72		1	89	124	Nut	1/16

A Lizard Fighter uses these battle commands:

Command	Chance to use	Elem. Stats used with *	Description
Attack	6/8 (75%)	{{{command1usedwith}}}	Standard physical attack.
Water Breath	2/8 (25%)	{{{command2usedwith}}}	Enemy ability where the user generates a blue mass of watery yet gaseous matter at the party of Adepts. Deals a Mercury-aligned attack with a power rating of 50 and a range of 3 (the Adepts at either side of the specifically targeted Adept will only take 50% of the attack's force, instead of the normal 80%, however). Lizard Fighter uses this with a Mercury elemental power rating of 100.

Lizard King

The Lizard King is a large level 28 variant with brownish-orange scales, purple gloves, and a light blue loincloth. In Golden Sun only one is fought throughout the entire game, together with one Harridan and two Stone Soldiers as one scripted boss encounter that occurs on the fifth "dungeon floor" of the optional Crossbone Isle as soon as you try to enter the door to that floor's puzzle room. Therefore, the minimum rewards of the battle are 881 EXP, 1560 Coins, and a Psy Crystal.

The battle with this monster is the first in Crossbone Isle's series of mini-boss encounters that is reachable only by the late-game method of going to Crossbone Isle from Suhalla Desert, meaning the Lizard King and the mini-bosses at the floors below are much stronger than the monsters in the earlier floors. That does not necessarily mean this is a hard battle, even considering that there are three other enemies to contend with as well; using area-of-effect offensive Psynergy should fell the lesser monsters without having to specifically target them, and afterwards Lizard King, counting as one single monster that only acts once per turn, should be beatable by typical battlefield conduct. Not to mention that this, like most of the other battles in the Isle, can be won in the first turn by having everyone let loose a level-4 Summon sequence all together to annihilate Lizard King's group.

The Lizard King's statistics are as follows:

Name	HP	PP	Attack	Defense	Agility	Luck
Lizard King	2000	52	285	93	92	13
Elemental Resistances		Turns	Exp	Coins	Item Dropped	Drop Rate
127   100   100   72		1	535	1200	Psy Crystal	1/1

In battle, the Lizard King uses these battle commands:

Command	Chance to use	Elem. Stats used with *	Description
Ice Blessing	100/256 (39%)	{{{command1usedwith}}}	Enemy ability where the user generates a mass of air filled with pieces of ice at the party of Adepts. Deals a Mercury-aligned attack with a power rating of 180 and a range of 3 (the Adepts at either side of the specifically targeted Adept will only take 50% of the attack's force, instead of the normal 80%, however). Lizard King uses this with a Mercury elemental power rating of 100.
Attack	41/256 (16%)	{{{command2usedwith}}}	Standard physical attack.
Debilitate	35/256 (13.7%)	{{{command3usedwith}}}	Psynergy costing 6 PP that attempts to temporarily lower the Defense statistic of up to 3 party members by 12.5% each.
High Impact	29/256 (11.3%)	{{{command4usedwith}}}	Psynergy costing 12 PP that temporarily increases the Attack statistic of the user and all of its allies by 12.5%.

Blunt	17/256 (6.6%)	{{{command6usedwith}}}	Psynergy costing 11 PP that attempts to temporarily lower the Attack statistic of up to 3 party members by 12.5% each.
Bind	11/256 (4.3%)	{{{command7usedwith}}}	Psynergy costing 4 PP that displays a holographic symbol onto a targeted Adept, attempting to temporarily Seal that Adept's Psynergy capabilities.

Lizard Man

A Lizard Man is a level 13 variant with light-green-colored scales, light-blue gloves, and a purple loincloth. Lizard Men are fought in Barai Temple.

Much like it's appearance in Mercury Lighthouse in the first game, the Lizard Man has the highest stats in almost every category compared to the other enemies found in Barai Temple, so it is the "main" enemy to focus on in the area. It is only outperformed by the potentially damaging, but statistically weaker Hydra.

Lizard Fighter

A Lizard Fighter is a level 40 variant with cyan scales, orange underbelly, and a dark blue loincloth. Lizard Fighters are fought in the caves of the Gaia Falls Islet.

Statistically, the Lizard Fighter is stronger but slower than the Weird Nymph. Compared to the area's other enemy, the Brutal Troll, the Lizard Fighter is almost as durable, with fewer Hit Points but much more Defense. It's area-of-effect ability is rather low-powered, however.
