LIZARDS
Lizards (Ceredurum) are a diverse order of average-sized reptile creatures containing 12 species, known for populating most of the world and wandering around for meals. They are found in abundance worldwide, though some prefer specific habitats over others.
Anatomy
Lizards are also famous for being quite varied in abilities, colors, voices, and personalities. These differing colors are meant to distinguish them from each other, so lizards can find a proper mate and attract prey.* All lizards, however, are characterized by a carnivorous diet, two claws on each limb, cold blooded cardiovascular systems*, a hard rectangular head with fluffy frills on the ends of it, a soft body, varieties of frills protruding dorsally/laterally on their body and tails, and a reproductive cycle involving hatching through laid eggs. Unlike most lizards on our earth, they are extremely protective of their eggs, and will hunt down and kill any thieves. It is currently unclear if lizards have distinct sexes or if they are intersex. They are preyed on by avian species, large Spiders, Dropwig species, carnivorous Slugcats, as well as any Rot that may be nearby.
A well-known feature of Lizard species are their widely varied frill types; all twelve species can exhibit seven different types of frills (with one type being specific to the Cyan Lizard) - however, certain frills are more common to certain species than others. Lizard frills can be of only one or multiple types, those being:
- "Bump hawks":Round plates found along the spine.
- Long head frills: Two long frills that extend from the base of the head.
- Long shoulder frills: Multiple, smaller frills that extend from the neck.
- Short body scales: Small plates found in a uniform pattern throughout the body.
- Spine spikes: Thin, spiky frills found along the entire spine.
- "Tail fins": Small, stubby frills that extend laterally from the end of the tail.
- "Tail tufts": Multiple puffy frills that extend from the end of the tail.
