The only thing that can really negatively impact a region's population is if you are stupid aggro on killing Pole Plants. Because those can Lineage into Monster Kelp. And that will eat basically anything on it's own, unlike the pole plant you have to actively bait into eating a lizard. Most lizard species will run from you if you get them to low HP (Red Lizard is again an exception to this rule. It gets MORE hostile if you've injured it. Not that that is saying much. It also gets more hostile if you attempt to tame it. Or look at it. Or breath near it. Or exist within 2 rooms of where it is currently. It just hates your guts, and has no qualms about telling you that. Usually with projectile glue spit.)

    I don’t know if its been confirmed, but lizards being the equivalent of dogs to the ancients in the past is a popular head-cannon which makes some traits make more sense, such as orange lizard telepathy and the variety of seemingly purposeless fancy frills and stripes on lizards, knowing the ancients love of genetic modification. It also explains why they’re tamed so easily, its natural.

    Green lizards are beasts. They are immune to red and caramel lizard bites (I'm not sure about the caramel), can easily escape pole plants, are immune to centipede shocks and worm grass, they cannot be eaten or hunted by vultures and brother long legs, and they also just have a bunch of health. They hunt three types of lizards, eel, blue, and strawberry. I think they can kill any lizard other than the train lizard. The only thing that they couldn't handle was the cold as they are extinct in saints campaign....

    Small correction on taming (but, as mentioned, a deep dive is worth, so a simplification is understandable here!): the gratitude sound increases rep. I've had easily-tamed (e.g. Cyan) and apparently not-very-hungry lizards follow me around, initial Dropwig still firmly in their maw, lol. You can take the present out of their mouth (risky if not yet tamed!) and feed it back to them repeatedly, quickly grinding rep, which can be useful with harder-to-tame species like Yellows and Salamanders.

    some misconceptions about white lizards:
    -While faster, they only have a very short burst of speed and will give up fairly soon and go back to camping unless you remain very close to them, if triggered from further they wont even have such a notizable burst, only Vultures, Noodleflies, Firebugs, Dropwigs and Miros birds are able to outrun the slugcat on ground in this game.
    -White lizards cannot climb ceilings, only blue lizards, cyan lizards, centipedes and Dropwigs can actually do that
    -Their tongue behaves different than other lizard tongues, instead of using it to mainly disarm you or slow you down while chasing you, they will completely stand still when they catch you and start reeling you back which is extremely dangerous if there is anything else arround since they wont let you go unless you get really close to them or stun them.

    • @fishyfishyfishy500akabs8
      @fishyfishyfishy500akabs8 9 місяців тому +3

      Some observations I made in my own time:
      - no actually, that is the speed they operate at and white lizards will often run when choosing to move. You can see them often use a “galloping” form of movement which is slower than a slugcat on the ground but much faster than a climbing or tunnel crawling slugcat.
      Other lizards like cyans will often use this gait as well and this is the gait that lizards move with when they want to run quickly. Most other lizards however will move by moving one limb in front of the other in a sort of “walk” most of the time except when say they *really* want a certain prey item, are enraged by the player or scavengers repeatedly attacking them without killing them, or are fleeing from vultures or other predators.
      The only reason whites give up easily is because their AI tends to prioritize redisguising and waiting in ambush over continuing a pursuit, and those with high energy values can override this urge and chase prey more actively.
      - all lizards will let go if they reel you in too close. A lizard can’t bite and tongue something at the same time. If you can avoid being slingshotted into the white lizard’s mouth this is a fairly reliable way to avoid dying to them since their tongue has a wind up and cooldown between uses and they are unable to bite the instant you get into reach of them.
      - this guy missed the fact that basically all lizards have a charge, even wall climbers like whites, blues, and cyans will occasionally charge if they are on level ground (one cyan even does it in his video), but will usually prioritize using their unique abilities over charging. They also cannot charge while swimming.

    Also more info on the Cyan fun fact! 40:27 When hit with a spear at JUST the right moment during a leap, they will leak some sort of propulsion fluid (similar to what vultures can sometimes be seen spewing when they fly, but black) and emit a constant hissing sound of air escaping while they fly randomly around the room like a deflating balloon. Rain World's devs _definitely_ have a sense of humor. Lol.

    Cyan: Appears only in a single place on Survivor with DLC enabled or not at all without, present from 1st region on Hunter - "most commonly found in mid to late-game areas"
    Blue: Appears in like half regions in the game, including the 2nd region most players ever visited: "a family of stubby critters that make appearances in both mid and late-game areas"
    Not sure if the early/mid/late classification makes any sense whatsoever in Rain World, unless we are counting the "intented" Survivor route maybe + DLC regions as they appear in their respective campaigns, in which case I still feel like most of those descriptions don't make much sense.
    Also the sliding trick you've shown for black lizards works on every lizard species and doesn't require you to slide below them, your spear gets bonus damage when thrown while sliding and will then penetrate any lizard's armor

      It doesn't actually penetrate the armor, right? I think a loading screen tip says that, but it's really that spears are thrown at a downward angle and reflect up. It goes under the lizards head. If they are stunned lying flat on the ground, slide throws will bounce because they can't sneak under the lizards head. It's also not uncommon to be able to stab their open mouth when you are sliding into them if they go for a bite, but that's not really anything special.
      It effectively 'penetrates' the armor as a combat mechanic but i dont think it actually pierces their armor. It's more of a bypass with a throw force bonus added for good measure. It also doesn't work at all distances, because the spear will bounce back up a bit and can hit the armor again if it's at the right distance.

    The "Useless Trivia" section includes incredibly useful pieces of information. Pinning lizards is one of the most reliable ways of killing or navigating past them, with proper consideration or just being generally opportunistic you're going to commonly pin lizards allowing you to either finish them off, run past or tame them by repeatedly throwing food at them, snatching it out of their mouths then throwing it back till they like you.
    Mouth spears are a great way of killing or removing the threat of a lizard. Using the tongue as a guide/timing if your spear hasn't been yoinked gives you an almost guaranteed mouth spear if you've set it up properly.
    Cyans going flying gives you significantly more incentive to fight them so that they're no longer chasing you, in small rooms it's like an extended stun, in larger rooms it can fling them across the entire screen and out of your midst and in rooms with death pits it can send them careening to their demise.
    Saving lizards is by far the best method of taming them, the amount of reputation it gives from saving a lizard from a vulture instantly tames most lizard types.
    Lizard's unique voicelines introduced in Downpour allows you to identify lizards without seeing them, potentially saving you from off screen BS. Plus it's a shame you didn't just put each voiceline in as you have a whole lot of footage of them, surely you could've just slapped in them each hissing as an example of the sound they make.

    Some random fact(s):
    Train Lizards are also called Hurricane Lizards because of the mod that was avalible during the early stages of the game (before monk & hunter got introduced) and that mod being the Hurricane mod. The Train lizard was likely given its name due to the insanely unfair speed it was given.
    *The Train lizard does not attack large creatures like vultures or the red centipede when untamed. When they're tamed however, they go absolutely ham on them and become a killing machine.*
    (The lizard was then sourced from this mod for Inv/Enot/???/Paincat/Whatever the heck you wanna call them, just like how More Slugcats was taken in and turned into the masterpiece that is ✨ *Downpour* ✨)
    Basically what the mod is (Hurricane):
    Overloads every region with the train lizard (primarily outskirts), locks shelters that would otherwise be avalible by default... and a lot more chaos.
    Strawberry lizards are nicknamed Zoop lizards because well... ZOOP. That long tongue of theirs being like a grappling hook. Also, their tongues are apparently longer than a white's from what I heard.
    Caramel lizards may have taken inspiration off the golden lizards from The Drought mod. (I forgot if the gold lizards were from Drought but I swear I remember them supposedly being in there somewhere-)
    White lizards used to be able to eat Blue lizards in the earlier stages of the game before monk and hunter.

    In my first attempt at Enot's campaign where I actually made it past Shaded, I tamed a train lizard. Named him Long Dennis.
    Experimenting with him also taught me that they are immune to centipede shocks, and considering he managed to 3v1 a trio of Reds at one point, I think they have immunity to those as well. I don't know if they're also immune to worm grass or pole plants, but I assume they are.
    In case you truly wanna know how insane these things are, I did spend some time spawning in creatures for him to fight. The results:
    They oneshot regular vultures. They can consistently run a gauntlet of all four birds (Regular vulture, king vulture, miros bird, miros vulture)
    They can kill BLL, and if they're in a good position can even fend off a DLL for about a minute.
    They win against every creature in the game except for DLL, MLL, Leviathans, and the Scav Chief (who, for some reason, is immune to Train Lizard bites).
    Also, fun Train Lizard fact: They do have tongues (and the second longest in the game at that), but the code prevents them from actually using it.

    Funny thing about white lizards, gourmand is a direct counter to them. If they grapple you from below they're gonna die to what I like to call fat damage. This is because they accelerate gourmand to a lethal speed. Also, if you're not tired you can pull them around like a wagon.

    I've always thought of strawberry lizards as young red lizards, they are still familiarizing themselves in this harsh, unforgiving world. Surviving mainly off bugs until they are large and old enough to take on tougher prey. Their clumsy, slow movement could be because they are still learning how to traverse the rough terrain.
    The red lizard's behavior is shown in real life by Komodo dragons and wolves, komodo dragons are cannibals and will eat younger , weaker komodos whenever they have the chance. Wolves will do a similar behavior where they will kill the pups of rival packs to defend their territory. So adult reds will kill the younger one while it is still slow and defenseless so that they won't grow to kill them when the current adult old and weak and steal their territory, and the adult gets food at the same time.
    The lighter colors might possibly darken with age and be used as a display for mating. It could be used for males to fight over a female. And for a female to show she is fertile and in heat to the males.
    The strawberry's tongue (at least from what I've seen) seem to be used less as transportation and more for catching small insects and catching up to fast prey. Despite their size, they still support the powerful jaws of the red lizard with a 63% bite lethality chance, which is the second highest bite lethality chance of the lizards. Only being outmatched by the adults. both adult and young are able to bite spears in half with their powerful tongue and jaws.
    It is possible that strawberry's have not yet learnt how to spit, or it simply being too weak and energy consuming to do so at this age.

    I love lizards! As a guy who doesn’t move from regions much, I’ve had lots of time to observe and feed lizards which means that the chances of them attacking me are very low and I really enjoy the company. Though for most lizards it is very hard to get them to follow you places, that’s why I particularly like blue lizards, besides they are good enough bodyguards in order for you to kill the other lizard that’s trying to eat you without you or your friend lizard dying.
    I particularly liked being a lizard tamer in farm arrays and sky islands (not being eaten by invisible enemies or collective consciousnesses was very cool and dope ngl) but passing through scavenger tolls is always a nightmare, I’ve made many enemies that way. All my homies hate heavily armed numerous human monkeys.

    I really loved this video as an avid appreciator of rain world lizards
    although I have several more facts for some aspects!
    Firstly - more of actually usable facts: If being grappled by a lizard's tongue, just bending them via structure makes them lose grip on you since they really don't like their tongues bent, so maneuvering around white lizards when grabbed may be easier if you just cut a corner somewhere
    And at last, MOST IMPORTANT TRIVIA FACT:
    If for some reason an Orange Lizard starts thinking that it is in a pack of 0 lizards (that's right! *0* lizards!) Rain World will crash. Although not seen, but it was still somewhat found in the code and it's hilarious
    Regardless!! Amazing video! I really loved it!

    also, taming any black lizard will make the same room black lizards neutural to the slugcat. The other rooms doesn't count.
    If you gain lizard reputation throughout the entire rainworld, first seen lizards(even in new areas) will be neutural to you. They are likely to ignore the slugcat and go for other foods like scavengers, lantern mouse, etc.

      @RakeV8 9 місяців тому +1

      the reason for their bite immunity is actually because lizards are unable to damage any lizard heavier than themself, so red lizards are incapable of biting spit, green, and train lizards, and all other lizards can't damage reds. train lizards are immune to ALL lizard bites, and green lizards are immune to bites from all lizards lighter than a train. therefore if every lizard type were to fight, train lizards would always win. i wrote a book

    really great video! i would've loved to had seen it few months ago when i just started the game and was losing my mind over lizards... but well, there's also fun in finding out things yourself!
    few things i'd add:
    - it's common for green lizards to tank red lizards. they're immune to the lethal bite AND all lizards deal "territorial bites" while fighting each other, which doesn't apply to green lizards. while fighting, red lizard take green lizard's full bite force, while dealing minimal damage itself. taking a tamed green lizard to fight a red is almost a guarantee win. also, once a lizard is tamed, it stops dealing territorial bites to other lizards and goes for its full bite damage.
    - red lizards actively hunt down vultures. that's why they're immune to the masks.
    - tamed lizards can sometimes nip on you. many people think it's because of "hunger mechanic", but it's untrue. there are maaaany reasons why a lizard can become snappy, which include: they're injured (they need to be fed then), they're stressed (after fight or after taking them to a new region), they are stressed because of you (don't jump around their heads too much...), or simply their personality (high aggression and energy means they'll be more likely to bite you, so cyans and reds give the most love bites as they're most likely to have high values in these stats). they also will target slugpups you have around, so it's important to feed an injured lizard as fast as possible.
    - blue lizards can also yoink spears/rocks from the slugcat's paws. alpha red lizards option will just make red lizards specifically be able to break the spears. if they steal and snap an explosive spear, they will take damage. but the red lizards' tongue cannot pull the slugcat into their mouth like whites and blues, only steal spears.
    - green lizards are also immune to worm grass.

    Some important things you missed or didn't mention.
    1. The White Lizard can climb on background walls, but it CAN'T climb on ceilings like Blue Lizard can. Only Blue, Eel, and Neon (Cyan) Lizards can do that.
    2. You don't actually have to let the lizard take the food back to it's den. The lizard just has to see you drop the food for them. This is indicated by the lizard making a special "happy" noise when it picks up the food. If it doesn't make the happy noise, it didn't see you drop the food and your reputation won't go up with it. Also, it will only do this once per throw, so if it grabs the food, fumbles it accidentally, and then grabs it again, it won't make the happy noise the second time. Unless you run in and grab the food and throw it again. You can actually abuse this trick to grab the food out of their mouth as they're trying to carry it away, and drop it in front of them again so they can snatch it up. If you do this right, they will make the happy noise each time, so you can gain extra reputation with just one piece of food by just constantly throwing it to them. Obviously this trick is VERY DANGEROUS to try with Red Lizards so you may actually just want to let them take the food and get them new food each time...
    3. Another thing to note about lizard rep is that if you feed lizards enough times, you can actually gain GLOBAL FRIENDLINESS with ALL LIZARDS EVERYWHERE. When this happens, all lizards will ignore you and let you walk around them safely and never attack you. And the best part is that you don't have to feed a bunch of different lizards each time, you can just tame one lizard, and constantly feed that one to eventually gain global reputation. It's like a reward for treating your lizard pal properly.
    4. For this reason I would say Black Lizards are a great way to earn lizard rep, especially if you're not confident in your ability to snatch and re-throw food. In the Shaded Citadel there's a room that is just infested with black lizards. If you save in the shelter just a bit north-east of this room, you can constantly bring them Lantern Mice from other rooms nearby. Repeat this process for a few cycles and you'll not only have some very friendly black lizards, you'll eventually gain GLOBAL LIZARD FRIENDLINESS.
