White Lizards are infamous for their ability to blend in with their surrounding environment in order to ambush their predators. Once they reveal themselves and start going after their prey, they become laser-focused on them and usually do not pay attention to any predators or distractions. Strangely, these chameleon-like creatures do not seem to use their abilities to hide from predators, instead choosing to quickly run to safety. Perhaps their second most famous trait is their long, adhesive and elastic tongue. Using their external jaw muscles to open their jaw wider than most other lizards*, their tongue stretches out extremely far to ensnare prey and bring it closer to their jaw, making it very difficult to escape. Relying mostly on their tongue to draw the prey in, they do not require the curved teeth of the Green Lizard, and thus have the usual trait of jagged teeth. Their domination over the food chain in both capability and population spreads them across the world.
