Nabac Gecko

== Description ==
These small reptilian creatures are inhabitants of various warm climate areas with varying amounts of rainfall. They are brightly colored reptiles with colors that often either serve as a warning to larger predators or as camouflage for hunting. While they are not large, they pack a potent punch.
Each variety of Nabac gecko boasts a powerful spit that is comprised of poison derived from the plants they consume. However, even though they consume plants, the use of these plants is to generate the toxins stored in their tail to attack small insects (sometimes small mammals if the geckos are in large numbers). 
The Nabac's tail is where it stores the potent poison it carries. After consuming a particular fruit or veggie, it harvests the poison to spit at prey. Should a predator attack it, it releases the tail, often killing the animal that eats it. This tail then grows back over the course of a week, but will not be of it's former size for up to a year. 
== Diet ==
The Nabac gecko eats special fruits and plants that thrive in hot weather climates. These plants are then broken down and processed into toxins in the Nabac's body that are used to hunt small insects or mammals. 
== Behavior ==
When not hunting for prey, the Nabac will often find a place to sun itself. This means either climbing high into the canopies of the jungle or lounging at the top of a sand dune in the desert. 
Nabacs have been known to live in and around human settlements, eating small pests and rodents in a nearly symbiotic relationship with the much larger mammals, which they avoid. However, if the numbers become too high, humans commonly kill the geckos before they can kill live-stock (chickens, small pigs, birds, etc.) 
Nabacs display a particular fear of humans, most likely because of their large size, and often avoid direct interaction. They will, however, accept small amounts of food from them and can be even kept as pets, though animals in captivity often live shortened lives. The reason for this is unclear.
== Myths ==
In early stories, the Nabac was once a powerful dragon who lorded over the humans of the deserts and the jungles. His immense size and power struck fear into the hearts of men until one day they tricked him into giving up his power. This power was too great for any man, and so ascended into the sky to become the sun. With his power gone and the sun high in the sky, the Nabac had new respect for it's beauty and decided to leave it there, merely basking in its glow.
