A lightly-armored dark lizalfos, of the dinolfos subrace. Source The grayish black tint to this dinolfos’ scales give a hint of the dark magic that transformed it from the more common form of its race. These beasts have been tainted by evil magic, either by the influence of Ganon or some other malicious force. What little shred of humanity they had has been diminished even further. They’ve become even more brutal, and their breath weapon even more deadly. They are most often found in areas where dark magic has permeated the environment for many years.
