Skull lizard

**Skull Lizard size**: 8ft tall and 9ft long

**X-factor**: A prehensile tail that could grab prey, two rows of teeth along the front made for cutting through skin. The smaller teeth at the back of its mouth were shaped like fish hooks to rip and grip flesh. A thick skull held in place a jaw that could generate tremendous bite force. It had powerful legs that were, as modern day people would say, "thicc". A strong sense of smell paired with excellent eyesight made it easy for this predator to track down prey. But the skull lizard didn't always start as a huge bipedal lizard that hunted down big game. It started as a small quadrupedal lizard that had tiny front legs and surprisingly powerful hind legs. As more and more predators tried to hunt down these lizards, it evolved to overcome these threats by developing into one of the most fearsome predators to ever exist. The Skull Lizard had no skin covering its head, however the bottom jaw was covered in thick scales where the tongue rested between a set of menacing teeth. The Skull Lizard didn't provide much parental care. The most parental care they did was by laying the eggs, only to walk away from the vulnerable offspring. Fighting over food and resorting to cannibalism was common amongst these lizards in order to ensure the survival of their young. The Skull Lizard was skilled at hunting, but its downside was the lack of skin on its head. This was the most vulnerable area of the Skull Lizard. If the head sustained any crack, the Skull Lizard's chances of survival were slim to none. This is one reason for its extinction along with their most feared rival, the Meat Hippo. The Skull Lizard wouldn't back down from a fight for food, territory or mating rights, but the Meat Hippo hunted these lizards for the sport and territory.

**Time**: Between the cretaceous and the quaternary period. Skull Lizards had the ability to kill a Meat Hippo, but the Skull Lizard would have to bite the nape of this foe in order to kill it. This was easier said than done considering that Meat Hippos had loose, flabby skin covering these vital areas. Fossils have shown battles of these two beasts that ruled the Catfish's Country at the time.

**Diet:** Skull lizard ate anything it could catch or kill. They thrived by using their tails like a lasso to grab onto prey or to grip onto a solid object in order to anchor themselves.

**Fossil Records:** The first fossil found of the Skull Lizard was found near a waterfall imbedded in the cliff in 1972. Sadly, the only remains found was that of the skull. The rest of the animal was nowhere to be found. Just having the skull, paleontologists thought it was some kind of crocodile, but later studies proved that the animal was more like that of a large lizard. Before this, the Skull Lizard was named "Reyzornora". In 1980, the remains of a younger Skull Lizard was found near a beach.

**Genus:** S.Vylli

**In the Unknown/video game:** You can find fossils of the Skull Lizard in the side of a cliff or underwater in the sand. To find it alive, you'll sail to Tubo Island 500 miles away from the the mainland. You can find them on the mainland as well, but they are extremely rare in these areas.

**Taming Level:** 5/112.0% adult, baby 50/100.0%

Item: Balls and meat items will help with taming Skull Lizards.

**Extinction:** TBA (To Be Announced)
