Native to Death Mountain, the militaristic Lizalfos in this embodiment are first encountered in Dodongo's Cavern, where this specific Predator class ambush the player and serves as a proper combat tutorial when learning how to Z-target. My theory is that they moved in when the entrance was blocked by Ganondorf and attacks anyone who intrudes their new home!
Being my favorite enemy in the entire Zelda franchise, I was curious to have
sparksstars take on it and I was not disappointed. I never forget the early memories of encountering this awesome-looking lizard as a kid and still to this day makes sure to drag it out to make the fight epic! It also helps the fact they got some real dramatic way of reacting to damage or when slayed!

Haha nice! I was thinking to get my own Lizalfos OC as well eventually! This was an appreciation piece. My theory is that their armor is the way it is because if they had armor on the mid-section they wouldn't be as agile and unable to crouch, so cuirass meet codpiece pretty much. On the front I think it looks great and the thick layer of plates on the back is to give access to the lizard's spine spikes.
As a militaristic race, this kind in particular is of the Predator class who stalks and ambushes their target, which is why they for instance drop down upon spawning when The Hero of Time approach. They need to keep themselves as agile and jumpy as possible which again is for the little armor they wear. But their bellies are exposed so anyone fighting them could slay one in 6 or 3 hits! I think the way they recoil or collapse when taking damage or dying is cute, I can't get enough of them!
