Mt. Gulg
Temple of Chaos Past
You won't run into many Fire Lizards wandering around Mt. Gulg, but they do guard a number of Treasures. They have a decent two-hit Attack to go with high HP and moderate Defense, but their big trick is a moderate-damage Blaze attack. It's not a huge threat when there's only one of them, and by the time you run into groups of Fire Lizards in the Temple of Chaos Past, your party will likely be protected from Fire. They'll drain your resources in Mt. Gulg, but they aren't a threat to kill anyone.

Name
Damaging special attacks that are not resisted deal between one and two this this amount of damage, or half that when resisted (damage can be further modified by elemental weaknesses or resistances)
Power
A modifier to the likelihood of the special attack being resisted; there is a base chance to hit of approximately 74% plus half this value, modified by the target's magic defense
Accuracy		 Target
The status ailment inflicted if the special attack is not resisted, if any
Status
The elemental nature of the special attack; weakness to the element makes the special attack approximately 20% more likely to hit and adds a 50% bonus to any damage dealt, while resistance halves damage and nearly guarantees that the special attack will be resisted (for a net of 1/4 normal damage)

Lizards are tough opponents with decent HP and Defense, and a damaging and accurate attack. They are your standard meatwagon-type creature, and fortunately they only appear alone early in the game. Later on they will often accompany Hill Gigantes, at which point they are not much of a threat.

Basilisks are notable more for their rarity than their danger. They aren't particularly hard to kill, nor do they hit very hard. Their only notable attribute is a petrifying Gaze attack. It's not very accurate, and you should have a supply of Gold Needles (and possibly the Stona Spell), so Basilisks are no great threat.

The AGAMA's attacks and HEAT ability aren't terribly powerful, but with 296 HP it might be worth using ICE2 to soften them up a bit.

Salamanders are similar to Ice Lizards, but with the opposite elemental affinity. Their Blaze 16 attack deals significant damage to those not resistant to Fire, but they are vulnerable to Ice and don't have enough defense to withstand a concentrated assault. You should be able to take out two per round if you split your attacks properly.
