Notes:  Thought by some to be an ancestral species to Draconians, Rizardon are accomplished carnivores.  They use the biolumenescance regions at the tips of their tales, which creates a flame like glow, especially when the tip is in motion, to lure in prey.
From the moment they hatch, young Rizardon have clear nubs that will become the wings on the adult animal.  Starting with a diet of insects, young Rizardon move to larger prey as they grow older and larger.
Though adult Rizardon are capable of flight, they are more often seen power gliding.  However, there are rare examples where adults, usually males, trying to impress females have pushed themselves into becoming accomplished flyers.
Found on numerous worlds, some theorize the Preservers had something to do with how wide spread the Rizardon are in the galaxy.
