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 immune to the Poisoned and Venom debuffs.

Tips

 * When dealing with Lihzahrds, fighting them from above or with strong knockback weapons is a good idea.

Trivia

 * Possibly referencing the "Reptilian" conspiracy theory, where major figures of society are purportedly shape-shifting lizards.
