Talk:Fire lizard

message: Maybe it'll be a good idea to move 'fire-lizard' to 'firelizard' as I belive thats is the correct name in the book. I belive I made this error when I first created the article.
Could someone else comment on this, maybe? --ElectraFlarefire 07:45, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

message: Is the genetic memory explanation canon? I got the idea from reading the books that the firelizards, being telepathic, preserved the memories through sharing the memory-images between them - note the many instances of Ruth telling Jaxom about the outrageous images he'd gotten from his various guesting lizards. (Peer-to-peer memory sharing - what a concept!) --213.114.138.197 11:04, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Something that just occured to me whilst reading the dragon page - do we know if gold fire-lizards can breathe fire?
The fact that the original dragon riders seemed surprised that their queens couldn't flame, and the suggestion that it was a deliberate change introduced by Kitti Ping implies that gold fire-lizards could breathe fire, but I don't know of any instance where it's explicitly stated in the books. There are no mentions of a gold fire-lizard flaming, but equally nothing to say they can't. Danikat (talk) 10:42, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

message: If you don't have a legitimate doubt that the information is valid, then there is no legitimate reason to tag it for a reference.  The external link I added to the official writer's website listing information about the books, will verify any information.  It even list what books, chapter, and pages various information was revealed in.  Dream Focus 13:30, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I have legit doubts. I haven't read all these books (i did, as it happens, read 3-4 of them when i was a kid) and i have no idea what pages of which books confirmed this plot trivia, so there is no easy way to check the claims here whithout reading thousands of words and making extensive notes and then double checking. That's why we need citations.Bali ultimate (talk) 16:06, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  most of these facts needed tags are pointless 

message: There seems to be some conflicting information in the books about whether Fire-lizards flame Thread or eat it.
When they were first discovered by the colonists in "Dragonsdawn", they definitely flame thread; the first occurrence of this is when Sean and Sorka are forced to take shelter in water and the dragonets flame thread (p199) and this is repeated in many of the other books.  However, in Dragonquest, Kylara states "When my lizard saw Thread falling, she seemed to go mad.  I couldn't control her.  She flew right at a patch and - ate it." (p371)  When questioned as to whether she had given the fire-lizard firestone, she denied it as she hadn't any and also wanted her queen to mate.
Any ideas?
