Dragon Lizards are large gold quadrupedal lizards that live within the Os-Mine Hills. Their eggs were once highly prized as 'dragons' eggs' and sold as trinkets to people visiting Del.[1]
History[]
Secrets of Deltora[]
Dragon Lizard's could be found in the Os-Mine Hills.
Doran encountered several Dragon Lizards during his travels through the Os-Mine Hills and recorded them in his field guide, Secrets of Deltora.[1]
Habitat[]
Dragon Lizards inhabit the Os-Mine Hills in Topaz territory. They are often found among rocks of foothills and in valley caves at higher levels.[1]
Anatomy[]
Gold in colour and as large as a calf, Dragon Lizards are sometimes mistaken for dragon young. Covered in scales and spikes on its head and back, the lizard has sharp teeth and four feet, ending in 3 claws.[1]
Behaviour[]
Dragon Lizards are harmless when left alone. However, they will bite and scratch humans if threatened. When it is time to lay, the Dragon Lizard will build a nest of pebbles, laying eggs no larger than duck eggs.[1]
Diet[]
Dragon Lizards eat only insects, birds and small snakes.[1] Butter Moths are relished by the Lizards.
