Type variants (4)

This actor is placed in one of these forms. Pick it from the editor's Type dropdown. The value is what the actor's parameters store. Each picture is fitted to its cell, so compare the stated sizes and not the images.

	Value	Type
	254	Dinolfos~91 units tall
	255	Lizalfos~73 units tallThe lone Lizalfos hovers invisibly ~300 units up and only fades in and drops once Link is within 160 units. (A Dinolfos appears immediately.)
	0	Miniboss Pair A (arena only)~73 units tallLow byte 0/1 (including the default params 0) are the Dodongo's Cavern MINIBOSS pair: they despawn unless the player is within 100 units of their height, hop toward hard-coded cavern platform coordinates, and their pair logic corrupts neighboring actors when placed alone. Use 0xFFFF for a lone Lizalfos or 0xFFFE for a Dinolfos.
	1	Miniboss Pair B (arena only)~73 units tallLow byte 0/1 (including the default params 0) are the Dodongo's Cavern MINIBOSS pair: they despawn unless the player is within 100 units of their height, hop toward hard-coded cavern platform coordinates, and their pair logic corrupts neighboring actors when placed alone. Use 0xFFFF for a lone Lizalfos or 0xFFFE for a Dinolfos.

Parameters

Beyond the type above, the parameters hold these fields. The editor shows each as a labelled control.

• Type bits 0–7: 254 Dinolfos, 255 Lizalfos, 0 Miniboss Pair A (arena only), 1 Miniboss Pair B (arena only)4 of 256 values usedDinolfos and Lizalfos work anywhere. The miniboss pair is the Dodongo's Cavern duo — it needs its platform arena and kills itself unless the player is at its height.
• Switch Flag (set on death, 255 = none) bits 8–15: 0–255all 256 values usedOne of the scene's 64 switch flags. Actors that share a number are linked: when one sets it, every actor reading it reacts. Flags 0 to 31 are saved with the game, 32 to 55 reset when you leave the scene, and 56 to 63 reset on every room change. Pick a number nothing else in this scene uses unless you mean to link them. The panel's link list shows who shares it.
