Rex

Rex is Zack/Zoey Houlton's pet bearded dragon. While he has been known to misbehave around others a bit, he is very loyal and loving towards Zack and Zack is very caring for him. He lives in a glass enclosure in Zach's room and is often taken out by Zack to let him crawl around either on the floor or on someone else's shoulder. He enjoys the pellets, fruit, and crickets that Zack feeds him as well. When Zach is transformed into Zoey despite her altered appearance Rex seems just as loving towards his master and does not seem off set at all by his new body.
== Design/Appearance ==
Rex is a beige and pale colored bearded dragon lizard with black eyes and white underbelly. He seems to be fully grown to an average lizard's size and is rather calm and lazy as with most small pets.
== History ==
Rex is first mentioned by Zoey's younger brother Patrick while she is still in quarantine at the hospital after the initial outbreak. He mentions how he's been taking care of and feeding rex for her while she has been in isolation for several days for which Zoey is grateful. 
After Zoey returns home now able to be let out of quarantine her friends Gavin and Shane arrive to visit her. As they three of them hang out in her room and catch up on what's all happened to them during the initial outbreak Zoey goes to Rex's tank and gets him out to feed him and play around with him a bit. She feeds him grapes and he crawl around on her shoulder for a bit. Shane mentions how it's surprising how Rex seems to recognize her despite her transformation. Zoey simply assumes he likely goes off of scent or can just tell that she is still his master. Rex eventually jumps onto Gavin and crawls around on him a bit. Unfortunately, Rex ends up peeing on Gavin's shirt after a couple minutes and he's forced to change into one of Zoey's old boy shirts for the rest of the night. Zoey is angry at Rex and tells him he won't get any crickets for a week for peeing on her friend. However, Zoey does seem to briefly enjoy seeing Gavin shirtless as he changes. 
Rex is not directly seen again for the rest of the comic, but he can be seen crawling around Zoey's room when the group (which now includes Natalie) are discussing and drawing up sketches of the ghosts while investigating the odd happenings on the island. 
== Traits/Personality ==
Rex is very loyal to Zack even after he transformed into Zoey and still recognizes her as his master. While he seems friendly, he also seems to prefer only his master as he peed on Gavin after he crawled onto him, and Zoey walked away. Normally Rex is very content with simply crawling on Zack/Zoey and wandering around his room when he's inside as well. 
== Relationships ==
==== Zack/ Zoey ====
Zack is Rex's owner and master, and he is very caring towards him. Even when Zack becomes Zoey Rex still knows that she is his master and is just as affectionate and kind towards her. While he still misbehaves a bit in the form of peeing on Gavin when Zoey walks away, he is usually very calm and content when she is around. 
== Abilities/Powers ==
Rex has not special abilities on his own, but he does have the sense to recognize Zoey as his master Zack even if she transformed due to the virus. Zoey assumes he recognizes her mainly by scent even if she is a girl now.
