* LavaIsBoilingKoolAid: He can walk in lava just as fine as he can walk in water. Too bad the only place he can try this out doesn't lead anywhere unless the player is in Piranha-Man form. [[spoiler: The remake includes a bonus dungeon exclusive to him where this function helps out immensely.]]

enemies. Programming-wise, this counts as a weapon item, so he is the only form that can just use one other projectile at a time instead of two.
* LizardFolk: He is one.



* BlessedWithSuck: Sure he can cling to areas with checkered blocks, but he has awful attack range with his pin-sized sword and his shield is tiny - so there's higher chance that he'll fail to block an incoming projectile. He does make a smaller target, so some attacks will go over his head unless he's jumping.
* CeilingCling and WallCrawl: He can walk on walls and ceilings made of checkered blocks.
* PintsizedPowerhouse: The smallest of all forms, and the 3rd strongest statistically.

* PurelyAestheticGender: In the remake, you can play as a girl instead of a boy. Nothing changes mechanically, and their cursed forms look identical, anyway, so the choice is largely inconsequential, [[WingedSoulFliesOffAtDeath death animation aside.]]

* CursedWithAwesome: The aforementioned polymorphs all provide unique abilities and attributes he lacks by default, so what little he loses in strength he makes up for several times over with utility.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: If you're not attacking at the time, all forms but Lizard-Man can block projectiles thanks to his shield.
* MorphicResonance: He keeps a similar armor design in all forms but Lizard-Man's, and always uses a sword and shield except in the aforementioned form.

* ButtMonkey: As the starter form, Lizard-Man gets the short end of the stick in a number of ways, being weaker than the rest and not required to be used at all again to progress once you obtain Mouse-Man.
