Lihzahrd

Lihzahrds are post-Plantera enemies found only inside the Lihzahrd Temple. They initially move as ordinary walking Fighter AI enemies. When damaged below 55%, they enter their second form, which is a lizard-like creature that runs on four legs. In this form they are much faster, have additional damage, defense, and jump height, and are immune to knockback. Lihzahrds are always immune to the Poisoned and Venom debuffs.

Trivia

 * Possibly referencing the "Reptilian" conspiracy theory, where major figures of society are purportedly shape-shifting lizards.
 * May be a reference to the Silurians from Doctor Who, or to other "reptilian" races found throughout science fiction.
 * Judging from his tail and green skin, the Witch Doctor could be a Lihzahrd.
