Yellow Lizardmage

"'Both parts... thankful to the goddess Sylvian...'" The Yellow Lizardmage is a fearsome end-game enemy encountered in Fear & Hunger.

Lore
"'An act of love between a lizardman and a yellow mage. The being that came from the act seems to share the intelligence of both worlds. However it does not know for certain which tribe it truly belongs to. Thus it wanders the darkness alone.' - The New Gods when asked about the Yellow Lizardmage."

The Yellow Lizardmage is the result of a Marriage of Flesh between a Lizardman and a Yellow Mage, possibly for increasing the odds of both parts surviving against the dangers of The Gauntlet in the race to ascension. Interaction with the creature indicates that the dominant part of the Marriage comes from the Lizardman, as it mentions its ancestors still look after it even though it shares its skin with a human.

While Yellow Mages are traditionally more aligned with Gro-goroth, both parts share a sense of gratitude towards Sylvian for the successful Marriage, as the bond itself is one of the ways Old God of love and fertility interacts with the world.

Location
Found at the bottom of the Gauntlet. One roams near the Altar of Darkness leading to the Heart of Darkness, and one sits in a lower area in an empty hallway, channelling blood magic. The mage channelling Hurting if the player enters the room and will affect the player with a limb loss in approximately 2 seconds. The player either can move out of the way or engage him in battle, but it is impossible to reach him without the Lizardmage using the spell at least once unless the player has the skill Dash.

Strategy
The Lizardmage is a decently strong enemy, albeit it appears in an area where the player usually has a full party, making it a relatively smaller threat. Its chac chac-wielding arm casts Locus Swarm, which can stun the entire party, so it is advised to get rid of this arm first. Its mace-wielding arm usually waits in turns, showing off martial arts, and occasionally uses one of various slashing attacks.

Using the "Please don't" option through Talk will make the Lizardmage sympathize with the player and gift him with an Elixir of Body.

They drop an Elixir of Mind upon death.
