Dark Lizalfos (ヤミリザルフォス, Yami Rizarufosu^?, Black Lizalfos) are enemies from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. They are more powerful Lizalfos that dwell in the Fire Sanctuary. They are encountered twice in the entire game. They are able to Jinx Link with a breath attack, preventing him from using his equipment. Being a stronger version of the Lizalfos, they are faster with their counterattack, leaving less of a window in which to attack them. They sometimes drop a Lizard Tail or Evil Crystal upon defeat.
