Lizards
From Against the Storm Official Wiki
(Redirected from Lizard)
Overview
Lizards are a very resilient and distrustful species. They specialize in 
Meat production and enjoy 
Warmth due to their cold-blooded nature.
Their Starting Ability is to provide 10 
Tools. Lizards have a base Resolve of 5, with a Break interval of 01:40 minutes. Their Resilience is listed as High, while their first Resolve Threshold is 15. With a Decadence level of 7 and a Hunger Tolerance of 12, Lizards are one of the last to leave or die. They are a very versatile species that can be quickly pleased with species-specific Housing.
Consumption and Satisfaction
Like all species, Lizards need to fulfill Complex Needs to start generating Reputation. The more Complex Needs you fulfill, the higher their Resolve will go, up to a maximum of 50. With the exception of the Housing Needs, every need fulfilled grants an additional effect, like 
Jerky's increased double production chance. With a Break interval of 100 seconds, Lizards require noticeably more goods to keep their Resolve up, compared to other species.

Strategy
- Use a Lizard Firekeeper to keep villagers above 0 Resolve during Storm Season. This is especially effective when your Lizard population is low enough for the Ancient Hearth's Warmth bonus to make a difference.
- Favoring Lizards is also more effective as a strategy to prevent them from leaving during storm than with other species due to their high Resilience. +5 Resolve from favoring will last 4 times as long as with low Resilience species.
- Lizards are excellent at generating early Reputation through Resolve due to their low Demand combined with how common Warmth specialization is.
- However, Lizards are notoriously difficult to use for late-game Reputation as their +7 Decadence quickly causes their Demand to increase beyond your capability to satisfy them.
- To continue generating Reputation from Lizards even after their Decadence has raised their threshold to near the maximum of 50, you may need to get lucky and obtain the Clan Hall to activate its Carnivorous Tradition bonus in addition to supplying Lizards with all desired Complex Food plus Training Gear to fulfill their need for Brawling.
- 10 Tools you get from Lizards' Starting Ability can help in the early game to solve Glade Events, complete Orders or be traded for other Resources.
- Unfortunately, though the number of Tools needed to solve Glade Events scales up with difficulty, the number of Tools provided by Lizards does not scale.
- Unfortunately, though the number of
- Consider using Consumption Control on your Complex Food to prevent Lizards from eating all of it. Lizards have 4 different Complex Food needs but have extremely high Decadence, so in the late game, unless you can still boost Lizards' Resolve above their threshold, it may not be worth continuing to allow them to eat freely.
Trivia
- There are multiple Lizard Traders, named Vliss Greybone and Gex Runescale.
- Lizards have two skins, with one skin having a blue uniform and a blue tail, and the other skin having a red uniform and a light brown tail.

- Lizards have the most Complex Food needs, as well as the least Service needs.
- At 16 blueprints, Lizards have the most Comfort bonuses of all species.
- Before update 1.4, Lizards had the
Religion need instead of Boots. - Lizards were one of the three initial species available in Against the Storm.
