Lizal People (Total War)

Lizalfos are a reptilian people who originated deep underneath Hyrule's Death Mountain Range and have spread across the surface after the defeat of their Volvagian masters, primarily into Faron Woods.

Ancient Age
The Lizalfos originated from under the earth. They shared their territories with the Gorons, Dodongos, Helmasaurs and Volvagians and as a result were at war with them constantly. During this time, the Lizalfos had the Darkhammers among their ranks, as well as the Aeralfos who once controlled their ranks. Dinolfos would come in later centuries, allegedly having some Volvagian parentage.

When Dakkon became the next Sage of Fire and obtained incredible power, the Lizalfos were quick to pledge themselves to him as servants to avoid enslavement, unlike the proud Gorons who refused to bend the knee to the bitter end. It's during this alliance that the Volvagian Half-Breeds started to appear, born of a union between Volvagian and Dinolfos. Since this union was much more recent, the half-breeds retained more similarities to the large dragons. They weren't given the same honors as their pure-blooded sires and were mostly employed as soldiers.

Their numbers would only grow larger during the decline of the Volvagian Empire as the number of pure-blooded Volvagians started to dwindle.

Rise of Ganon
During the Goron rebellion lead by Darunia and supported by the Kingdom of Hyrule and the Sheikah Cadre, the Lizalfos were fully driven out of Death Mountain and saught refuge in the forested region of Faron. Their new capital was built on the remains of Zonai, an ancient Ikanian Ziggurat, and renamed it Dracozu.

They quickly established themselves as a power in the forest, but instead of waging war with the other forest tribes they opted for diplomacy. The Lizalfos still yearned to return to Death Mountain, where some of their gods still resided. Iguanalfos are the most recent breed, native to the woods of Faron and believed to be the product of Lizalfos and Dinolfos mating with the poisonous lizards native to that forest.

Gerudo Wars
In 101 AG, the Great Deku Tree proposed the other forest tribes, including the Lizalfos, for help against an incoming Gohma threat. The current queen of the Lizalfos, Nardu the White, refused to help the Kokiri as she wasn't convinced of the threat enough to mobilitate her armies.
