Lizalfos

Lizalfos are a very common and recurring enemy in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and in the entire Legend of Zelda series. They are found all around Hyrule, with many different variants, and are one of the easier enemies in the game. They often wield "Lizal" weapons.

In-game
There are many variants of the Lizalfo enemy. The standard Lizalfo usually appears in grassy or wooded areas. It is green in color and, as the most common, has no special abilities (besides camouflaging) and is one of the easier variants.

Blue Lizalfos
Blue Lizalfos are one of the variants of Lizalfo that are not elementally based (such as the fire or ice Lizalfos). They are slightly stronger then their standard green counterpart, but still fairly easy to take out.

Black Lizalfos
This variant of Lizalfos is even stronger than the Blue and green variants, although not the strongest in the game. They generally lead a pack of Lizalfos, and are faster and stronger than the rest.

Silver Lizalfos
These are the strongest variant of Lizalfos in the game. They are the fastest, strongest, and hardest to kill, but drop rare and valuable materials upon defeat.

Gold Lizalfos
This variant is found only in Master Mode in the DLC, and are slightly stronger than the Silver Lizalfos, but behave the same and carry the same items.

Fire-Breath Lizalfos
This variant is found generally in hot/fiery places, like the Eldin region, and specifically Death Mountain. As their name suggests, this variant of Lizalfos can breathe fire. This doesn't do damage to Link if he is wearing a doubly enhanced Flamebreaker Outfit, or if he is holding up his shield (although a wooden shield will burn). Upon death, they drop a Red Lizalfos Tail.

Ice-Breath Lizalfos
These Lizalfos are found in cold places, like the Lanayru region, and specifically the mountainous areas. This variant of the enemy can spit out balls of ice, which freeze Link, leaving him vulnerable to other attacks. When killed, they drop an Icy Lizalfos Tail.

Electric Lizalfos
Electric Lizalfos are found in the desert regions, where they hide under sand and ambush Link when he passes. They are a more difficult variety, as they can create a large dome of electricity that can harm Link. When killed, they drop a Yellow Lizalfos Tail.

Stalizalfos
This unique variety is a skeleton Lizalfo form that only appears at night. Although it is the weakest variant, when hit, its head falls off and must be destroyed, or else it will eventually put its head back together. When killed, its arm sometimes stays behind and can be used as a weapon.

Cursed Lizalfos
These are simply Stalizalfos heads that spawn from patches of Malice. They chase after Link, but can be easily killed.
