Lizards are enemies that appear in the Crash Bandicoot series.
Overview[]
Crash Bandicoot[]

Lizards in the US version (left) compared to the European version (right)
Green and red lizards appear in the levels The Lost City and Sunset Vista. They walk on two legs, hopping between set spots on the ground, and can only be defeated by jumping on them. Attempting to spin them only pushes Crash in the opposite direction. Red lizards move faster than green lizards.
They are not to be confused with iguanas, which are quadrupedal enemies found in the same levels.
In the original US release of Crash Bandicoot, the spikes intended to be on the backs of both colors of lizard are missing due to a texturing error. This was fixed for the European and Japanese releases.
Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back[]
Lizards in Cortex Strikes Back are equipped with spikes on their heads and sharp, superheated frills around their necks, making them invulnerable to all attacks except the slide. They found in the levels Road to Ruin, Ruination, Night Fight and Totally Fly.
A similar enemy, the Robot Walker, is found in space-themed levels.
Crash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure[]
Lizards reappear in The Huge Adventure with designs similar to those in Cortex Strikes Back, however, they are entirely organic. They walk around back and forth and can only be defeated by sliding.
Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy[]
Lizards reprise their roles from the original two games.
