## Appearance and Anatomy

While looking fairly froglike in appearance, they are reptiles with broad, triangular heads, square cobby bodies, a compact form, and a long tail, with several rows of stubby teeth – the frontal ones closely resembling human teeth – which help crush the shells of the tough nuts they like munching on

these lizards are found all throughout valliera and come in different colors and have different abilities depending on where they live.

The Flaming Tic Tac lizard (S. n. pyroignis) lives in the hot deserts of Valleria, and range anywhere from red to orange to yellow. they have grumpy faces and are covered in thick osteoderms.

The Frosty Tic Tac Lizard (S. n. pruinaglacies) lives in the mountains and tundras of Valliera, and range anywhere from white, to minty blue/green, to blue and dark blue, sometimes even looking purplish. they have very small scales, almost looking scaleless, with glimmering textures that include white, blue, and purple

The The Frilled Tic Tac Lizard, or the poisonous tic tac lizard, lives in the tropical forests of Valliera, and come in every shade of green. They have flattened bodies, and rows and clusters of spiny scales covering their entire bodies. it has a large frill around its neck, which usually stays folded against the lizard's body.

The Rocky Tic Tac Lizard (S. n. petraterram) lives in the arid environments of the supercontinent, they are usually grey or dull brown in color, and are covered in osteoderms.

## Ecology

### Behavior and Intelligence

They are certainly not the smartest creatures on the continent but they are smart enough to cooperate with the rules on the ark. They spend most of their days eating what they can find, whether it be bugs, carrion, or nuts leaves and berries. they are mainly solitary though they don't mind being around each other.

If threatened they will use their breath weapon, Frosty ones breathe ice, flaming ones breath fire, frilled ones spit poison, and the rocky ones shoot rocks out of their mouths. if they feel that their breath isn't going to help them they run, and they run like the wind on their two hind legs, they are ridiculously fast if you so much as blink you will miss them. they are one of the favorite prey items of the hazefrog, usually getting ambushed and then sprayed and eaten while unconscious, hazefrogs seem to be one of the only creatures that can catch them thanks to it's sedative fog ability. They are also often hunted by the pep salamander, but never get caught by them since they are simply too fast. sometimes they will toy with their enemies by going a bit slower then they would usually go so they can keep up and purposely lead them to a larger threat, or trick them into jumping off a cliff or something.

### Diet

Insects, other small creatures, carrion, nuts, fruits, berries leaves.

### Reproduction

The male will climb onto a tree, extend it's dewlap (or in the case of the frilled one, it's frill) and do push ups on the tree while making the iconic noise they are named for, which sounds like it's going "tic tac tic tac" the female will come along and if she likes the display they will mate, they will part, and the female will later lay her eggs somewhere save and leave them. they have no parental care after the eggs are laid. the babies then hatch and are miniature versions of the adults and can fend for themselves.
