Stone Lizard
Level 9 Wildlife · The Ritual Grounds
In Desperados Destiny, Stone Lizard is a level 9 wildlife — a mid-low threat for a character finding their feet.
Field notes
A large iguana that has lived among the standing stones for generations, mistaking the warm granite for natural formation. It bites and retreats into wall-cracks in a single fluid motion. The Nahi treat them as untouchable.
What you are walking into
Stone Lizard is level 9, carries 81 health, and is classed Stalker. That makes it a mid-low threat for a character finding their feet. It fights by attrition — damage that keeps working after the hand is played, so a long fight favours it rather than you. Every exchange resolves through the Destiny Deck: you draw five cards, choose what to hold, and the resulting poker hand decides how the action lands. Suit matches amplify the result, so the same fight against Stone Lizard plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find Stone Lizard
Stone Lizard is encountered at The Ritual Grounds. You will need to have discovered and travelled to that location before it can appear as a target, and travel between regions carries its own risks — routes are rolled for interception, and a bad roll puts an encounter between you and your destination. The full entry for The Ritual Grounds covers what else is there.
What it drops
A kill pays 108 experience and between $4 and $8. Its loot table can yield Animal Bones, Venom Sac and Armadillo Shell. Drops are rolled per kill, so a full set takes repeat hunting. The first time you kill any species it is also recorded in your Field Guide, which pays a large one-off experience bonus and counts toward the Guide's completion milestones.
