How it behaves
It notices players within 24 metres, attacks at close range for 14 damage, and pursues until the target escapes its territory.
Hunting notes
Watch the attack wind-up, step outside its reach, and return a strike during recovery. Armor reduces the cost of a mistake, but movement decides the fight.
Preparation and rewards
Monitor lizards introduce deliberate close-range combat in desert and savanna. A solitary lizard has more health than any passive animal and an eighty-percent leather chance, but no fur. Keep open ground behind you, wait for the lunge to commit, then move outside its line and strike during recovery. Carry food or healing before crossing dry country, because even a won fight can leave a long, exposed walk home.
