Pakkun Lizards are a strange species of monsters found in the Seiken Densetsu series. These creatures start their life as monsters similar to tadpoles and then develops into a lizard. The name “Pakkun” is usually written in Hiragana as opposed to the Katakana other enemy names are written in. In SwoM and CoM the Pakkun families appeared but the Tonpoles do not mature into the Lizards. The healing Pakkun chocolate in the series is named for these monsters.

Pakkun Lizard

Pakkun Lizards run around with Mummies. Their only attack is randomly running into you, but a sprite of a full Pakkun Lizard exists in the game suggesting that they were supposed to have a swallowing attack.

In SoM Pakkuns are classified as Reptiles.

Tonpole / Pakkun Tadpole (J)

The first Tonpole is found guarding Undine’s Cave near the Water Palace. Later three more are encountered in the Ice Palace. These monsters are always found encased in an egg with a heart on it. They attack by randomly hopping around. When they take enough damage they will transform into a Biting Lizard.

Biting Lizard / Pakkun Lizard (J)

Wherever a Tonpole is found there will soon be a Biting Lizard. These monsters walk around and spit their tounge out to eat your characters. When a character is in their stomach the lizard will be too full to move and it will soon be forced to spit them out. They can cast Cure Water on themselves.

Snap Dragon / Pakkun Dragon (J)

The Snap Dragon has no Tonpole associated with it. It acts the same as a Biting Lizard but is much stronger and has more MP.
