'''Lizard pets''' (also known as ''Frazerarg's lizards'' or ''Loveable Lizards'') are a form of wearable pet that has a variety of ambient messages. Lizards are '''permanently attuned''', and thus cannot be sold or in any way transferred to another character. They can be worn, and they are safe to remove, including for storage in a locker. They generally weigh between 9lbs and 5lbs.

As you stare at the silver lizard in annoyance, ready to give the lizard a thorough scolding, it looks up at you with an innocent expression and makes a silly-looking little grin of sorts. You mutter, but just can't seem to find anything stronger to say to it.

You can feel the silver lizard sitting on your shoulder begin to get restless. It shifts its weight from side and side, and lashes its long tail. Soon, the lizard begins clicking its jaws open and closed. Not in the mood for any of the creature's shenanigans, you turn your head and stare at it with eyes narrowed. Alerted by the motion of your head, the lizard stops fidgeting and gazes languidly up at you with wide-eyed innocence. Then, it leans into your neck and gives you an affectionate snuggle.

Lizard pets (also known as Frazerarg's lizards or Loveable Lizards) are a form of wearable pet that has a variety of ambient messages. Lizards are permanently attuned, and thus cannot be sold or in any way transferred to another character. They can be worn, and they are safe to remove, including for storage in a locker. They generally weigh between 9lbs and 5lbs.

Lizard

A dark-eyed pearly sanguine lizard is a Lovable Lizard.  You could WEAR, REMOVE, TOUCH, TICKLE, RUB, WAVE, and SMILE at the lizard.  SHOW a cricket to the lizard to feed it.

Cricket Box

Analyze

This garnet cricket box is a container that holds crickets to feed to pet lizards.  While there are crickets inside, the crickets will reproduce within three days.

Inside the box: a small cricket
It is a small item, under a pound.
It is estimated to be worth about 40 silvers.
The cricket can not be worn.

This is a cricket.  It can be fed to a pet lizard.  SHOW the cricket to the lizard to feet the cricket to the lizard.

Additional Information

Feeding

Lizards require live crickets to eat or they will slip into a coma and possibly die. Crickets can be obtained via the Wizened Gnome in Solhaven. Lizards can be fed by SHOWing a cricket to them.

DO NOT SHOW THE CRICKET BOX TO YOUR LIZARD! It will eat the entire box, and you'll need to buy another.

Ambient Messages

Lizards have a variety of ambient messages.

You feel your lizard slowly edging closer to your cheek. Uncertain what the little rascal is up to (and not trusting its motives for an instant), you turn your head and glance at it. The lizard is staring intently at you. It does nothing for a moment, than leans over and rubs its little head against your chin with obvious affection. You feel yourself trying not to grin, even though you know in your heart that the scamp was probably going to try something like climbing your face.

Your lizard breaks into a furious dance, bobbing and hopping around like it has lost its senses! You scratch it behind its neck, and finally get the lizard to simmer down.

Your lizard begins to work its way down your chest, eyeing something on the ground it wants. You gently herd it back up to your shoulder with your hand. On the way past your chin, it gives you a little nip, just to let you know that it doesn't entirely agree with your intervention.

Your lizard fidgets, bobbing from side to side and clicking its jaws.

Your lizard scampers across your shoulders, obviously deciding the view is better from your other side.
