What is the difference between Lazarus and Isaac

What is the difference between Lazarus and Isaac - Traffic light with red color and TV tower between skyscrapers

I've unlocked Lazarus in Rebirth, and played with him, but except for having a lovely head of hair, he seems identical to Isaac. They have the same stats listed, and Laz starts with no extra items. Are there any other differences, or is it purely cosmetic?



Best Answer

Isaac:

Lazarus:

  • On death respawns immediately in the same room with 1 red heart and gains Anemic
  • A pill

Everything else, except look and unlocks that they get, seems to be the same.
