Strategy
Its melee attacks can be compared to a Giant Spider's. Knights can just melee it, using berserk if they want to kill it faster. With at least level 65 and skills 75/75 you should be able to kill them. Mages are recommended to hunt them at around level 90 since lizards do not walk alone. Use Icicle or Ice Strike because they are weak against ice. Sorcerers would also use energy wave if there are more than two lizards keen to fight.
