The Lizard is an enemy that appears in Serious Sam 2.

Overview

The Lizard is a strange reptilian creature that resembles a dinosaur, with sharp teeth and a long tongue.

Appearances

Lizards are encountered on various planets throughout the game, usually involving surroundings of water. They are most often found swarming in packs and spawn from eggs that are thrown from sewer pipes or fall from trees. Sometimes they can also be hiding in crates. There are smaller variants of this type, however there are no major differences other than its speed and height. The first appearance of the Lizard is in Riverdance.

Behavior and skills

The Lizard's only attack is to run up to the target and bite them when they are close enough. They are fast and can easily catch up with the player, but they can be taken out from a distance as they do not have any ranged attacks.

Tactics

• Since they only have a melee attack, simply stay away from them and kill them from a distance.
• The Auto Shotgun is the more proper approach to these enemies. Even at a distance it can still do a fair amount of damage to these creatures.
• If the player has a choice between killing a Lizard or a larger threat, they should definitely target the Lizards first, but as fast as possible.

Trivia

• The Marsh Hopper in Serious Sam: Double D reuses the Lizard's sounds.
  • Interestingly, both enemies are named "Gizmo" in the game files.
• The Rowteeth, a wildlife-based schema that appears in Serious Sam: Tormental, serves as the basis of the Lizard.
