Hunting

The following quests are recommended for hunting this enemy:

Mechanics

Yowies and Satellite Lizards slowly move towards the nearest player as long as they are in the same room, regardless of distance from the player. Once in range, they will initiate a slow, short range attack that deals fixed damage (scaling with difficulty) and continue to do so until the player moves out of their attack range. The main difference between Yowies and Satellite Lizards is that a Yowie has higher stats and will do more damage to the player.

Yowies and Satellite Lizards share a shielding mechanic which blocks projectiles from the front. If the shield is triggered, the Yowie will turn invisible and untargetable until it is near its target. Techniques bypass this mechanic almost entirely, but an untargetable Yowie still can't be targeted by a technique.

Yowies and Satellite Lizards respond uniquely to the Confuse.pngConfusion status effect compared to all other enemies. When affected, they will target the nearest enemy in the room and proceed towards it to attack. Players will be ignored entirely unless there are no other enemies in the room. This can give the players some breathing room and an opportunity to group up and attack the enemies with multi-target melee weapons. However, given their slow movement speed, slow turning speed, and their inability to catch up to a fellow enemy target that is moving away from them, a confused and shielded Yowie or Satellite Lizard may spend the full duration of a confusion status effect untargetable by players.
