Gizzard Lizard is a colossal rare zombie card in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes and a member of the Crazy class. He costs 3 to play and has 3/3. He does not have any traits, and his Zombie Evolution ability does 2 damage to every plant on the field. His closest plant counterpart is Sour Grapes.
Origins
He is based on a lizard, a widespread group of squamate reptiles, though more of a lizard-human (zombie) hybrid, quite possibly referencing Lizard from Marvel comics. His appearance is extremely similar to the Sleestak (lizard insect humanoids) in the TV show Land of the Lost, and is likely a reference to said show.
His name is a combination of "gizzard," referring to the green liquid (presumably his stomach juices) that he spits out when he activates his ability or does an Overshoot attack, and "lizard," the real-life animal he is based on. His rhyming could also be a reference to King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, as both have a similiar naming scheme
His description makes a pun on the word "link" in the term "the missing link," a term used to describe fossils that share common traits with both its ancestral group and descendant group, replacing it with "skink," a type of lizard.

Update history
Update 1.22.12
- Added to the game.
Strategies
With
Gizzard Lizard can be treated like a package of an average 3-brain zombie with The Chickening if Evolved at the right time. However, unlike The Chickening, your opponent can recover better from Gizzard Lizard's ability due to him only being able to be played before the Plants Play phase, unless he gets teleported in the Zombie Tricks phase. But still, even if his ability goes wrong, you are at least left with a 3/3 zombie on the field.
Each hero can use this zombie effectively:
- Electric Boogaloo can use him in pet decks where he can not only activate Cat Lady and Zookeeper's abilities, but also act as method of field clearing for his pet swarm to land heavy damage to his opponent. He can also Conjure more with Cosmic Yeti if he is lucky, or use Secret Agent to reactivate his ability.
- Professor Brainstorm can teleport this zombie in to make him a substitute for The Chickening and safely play a 3/3 zombie at the same time.
- Impfinity can combine this with Zombot Sharktronic Sub or evolve it in Laser Base Alpha to destroy all plants on the field that can be hurt, even if they are untrickable, as he usually has a hard time dealing with tough plants.
- Z-Mech cannot use this zombie as effectively as the other heroes, but he can still use this to clear a field of weak plants before they get boosted in the Plants Play phase, as it can be tough for Z-Mech to deal with bigger plants.
Against
Stat-wise, Gizzard Lizard is average for his cost. If played by himself, he will not be as threatening. The trouble arises when he activates his ability, allowing your opponent to damage and possibly destroy your plants before you can boost them. There are a few ways around this, though.
You can have many nut plants and then play Mirror-Nut to make your opponent think twice before activating his Evolution ability (or alternatively have many low-health mushrooms and Punish-Shroom) or have Hibernating Beary and Pear Cub to pressure them further.
