What to do with Fire Breath Lizalfos Tails in Tears of the Kingdom

Fire Breath Lizalfos Tails have a few uses. When fused to a weapon, they add 10 damage. If you fuse one with a slicing weapon, such as a sword, it’ll add a whiplike quality to attacks, in addition to burning whatever it touches. The tails are also used to upgrade clothing outfits such as the Snowquill set and the Yiga Clan Armor set.
