How to deal with Spore Lizards in Lethal Company

Spore Lizards are likely to be the first monsters you encounter during your playthrough of Lethal Company. These rather frightening creatures are seen aimlessly wandering through the dungeons.

When confronted, the Spore Lizard will attempt to intimidate the player using its large, toothy mouth. Interestingly, as mentioned earlier, these creatures are quite timid and mostly harmless. The threatening gesture mentioned earlier is nothing more than a deterrent that does no actual harm.

The monsters automatically sneak into the shadows unless directly confronted, upon which they usually release a cloud of pink “Spores” that heavily restrict the vision of the player. The Spores do not deal any damage and wear off after a short while.

When aggravated further, the Spore Lizard will bite the player, dealing a very minuscule amount of damage.

It is recommended to avoid confronting them and instead be on the lookout for the more dangerous monsters. Make sure to back away from them once you hear hissing noises.
