Lihzahrds are monsters found in the Lihzahrd Temple. They are aggressive and can quickly overwhelm the player in large numbers if not dealt with swiftly.
After sustaining sufficient damage, Lihzahrds will get down on four legs, granting them highly increased movement speed, melee damage, defense and resistance to knockback from melee sources.
Rarely, they can drop Power Cells upon death, which is used with the Lihzahrd Altar to summon Golem.
Like every other non-boss creature in the game, every 50th Lihzahrd kill will give the player a Lihzahrd Banner.
Trivia[]

- They can also be references to the Lizalfos, enemies in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.
- The Witch Doctor NPC is a Lihzahrd, notably the only friendly one in the game.
