Lizalfos are humanoid lizards that appear in The Adventure of Link, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword. Lizard Men in The Adventure of Link stand upright and wield a shield and either a spear or hammer. Lizard Men in later games are rapid-moving monsters that often attack in pairs or small groups. In Skyward Sword, there are dark versions of Lizalfos that prevent the player from using their sword when they attack the player.
A monster called the Dinalfos, or Dynalfos, is very similar to the Lizard Men, but is larger and tougher. In Twilight Princess Dinalfos wear skulls and armor. Some Dinalfos can also breathe fire.
