Lizard Doggo

The Lizard Doggo is a short reptilian dog, red in color and about the height of an engineer's knees. It features 4 eyes, long ears, short legs, fish tail and scales on the back which resembles a carapace. It makes a bird-like sound. It cannot jump. It wanders around and will run from engineers, but can be baited with Paleberries. It is widely viewed as the game's mascot after its initial appearance in the teaser trailer, and was therefore the first thing ever revealed about the game, and the only thing until the E3 Reveal Trailer which feature the Lizard Doggo in addition to other features.

Behavior
The Lizard Doggo will normally run away from players, but if a Paleberry is dropped nearby, the lizard will eat it, and then if the player pets the lizard, as soon as it sticks its tongue out, the lizard will follow the player. Sprinting engineers will scare away nearby untamed Doggos. While following or if a player can catch up to a fleeing one, the lizard doggo can be patted by pressing the use key (default ). It currently serves no real practical purposes other than generating random items (including Power Slug). Besides, it can occasionally find a small amount of ore, berries and nuts. It has a single inventory slot you can use if you don't mind making sure its pathing lets it keep up with you. They can be kept in a makeshift farm in order to gather items frequently.

For every non-fixed amount of time interval, one type of the following items can be randomly generated in the Lizard Doggo's inventory (This is not a complete list): A Lizard Doggo can sometime generate multiples of the same item during one re-generation cycle.

If carrying Uranium or Nuclear Waste, the engineer will receive radiation damage, but the Lizard Doggo won't. In addition, Nuclear Waste cannot be trashed which make it hard to get-rid of.

If killed, it will not drop any items.

The Lizard Doggo can forget that it has been tamed (it won't lose the items in its inventory and can be re-tamed). Lizard Doggos will try their best to follow their owner, if within their close range, and provided the owner does not jump more than 2 meters high in the air. Jumping while wearing Blade Runners will makes Doggos run away.
