Lizard mount

This article is a work in progress!

Lizard mounts were released during the 2022 run of Rumor Woods as the third mount available for the mount system. Mount are summoned by a summoning item, which stores their information, but are considered a separate item. There were three tiers released: common, uncommon, and rare. Common Appearance a gargantuan armadillo lizard The lizard's thick-scaled hide is characterized by hard, overlapping greyish brown scales that form pronounced lateral ridges the full length of his body from skull to tail-tip. Set deep within his narrow head, his solid brown eyes are protected by scaly brows. His thick scales flare more dramatically along his neck, legs, and tail, tapering into toothy spines. a giant three-toed tegu Stocky with thick limbs, the tegu's thick-scaled body is a mottled greyish brown and heavily armored all along his back from crown to tail. Solid brown eyes are set low beneath bony ridges on the sides of his narrow head. Each foot bears three thick toes with sharp claws; those of the forefeet are particularly elongated and sharp, while the hind claws are notably shorter. A cluster of bony spikes caps his tail, the one protruding at the center the longest by far. Common Common mounts are the least expensive option when considering purchase. They are limited in alteration options that may be allowed through the Ostler. Available Nouns Liazard Tegu Usage Verb Who First Third Arrival N/A (Owner) Departure N/A (Owner) .

Ambients TBA Uncommon Appearance a colosssal water monitor Banded from snout to tail, the water monitor's leathery, cerulean hide gives way to a lighter underbelly. The beast's round brown eyes appear almost beady, set within a triangular head beneath pronounced brow ridges. Darker streaks trail back from the brows and curve sharply over the oblong openings of his ears. His long, thick body is supported by short, muscular legs, and each toe terminates in a sharply curved claw. a monstrous crocodile monitor Set beneath the prominent sweep of raised brow ridges, the crocodile monitor's round-pupiled brown eyes are large and alert. A pale gradient around his/her nostrils deepens to bistre halfway down his/her round-shaped head, though his/her leathery hide remains banded with pale markings even to the tip of his/her tail. His/Her long, thick body is supported by short, muscular legs, and each toe terminates in a sharply curved claw. an enormous sai'ri monster A nearly unrelieved expanse of shimmering coal black, the sai'ri monster's knobby hide bears only a single stripe of iridescent blue along his belly. His thick, sturdy legs end in wide feet with three-clawed toes, and his tapered tail is as long as the rest of his body. Solid brown eyes are nestled beneath heavy brow ridges set low on his wedge-shaped head. a scaly brownish yellow wastesdragon The wastesdragon's heavy-jawed head is masked in black, with tiny solid brown eyes peering out from beneath small ridges. Breaking up the darkness, a daubed pattern of brownish yellow scales begins just past his brow and extends all the way to the tip of his tail. Though the entirety of his leathery hide is eye-catching in both vibrancy and contrast, the beast's form is otherwise stout, his body and tail thick and his neck and legs short. Uncommon Uncommon mounts are the second most expensive option when considering purchase. They have more options available for noun choices, as well as a wider array of feature alterations at the Ostler. Their appearance is similar to the common tier.

Ambients All common ambients, plus: TBA Rare Rare mounts are the highest tier available for purchase and offer additional verbs unavailable at common or uncommon tiers. Rare lizard mounts are locked into their features as the additional verbs are specialized to the design. They are also only available during their initial run, and are discontinued in concurrent runs. For 2022, the rare lizard mounts were yierka. Appearance Yierka a sinewy fringe-toed yierka Earthy beige tones mottle the yierka's leathery hide in subtle bands from nose to tail, though large swathes along his neck and shoulders are much darker where the skin has the thickness of armor. Parallel ridges of pale, raised scales crest above the beast's fiery orange, slit-pupiled eyes before merging at the crown of his wedge-shaped head and extending down his spine. His sleekly muscular body and limbs are built for running, and his long, claw-tipped toes each bear a serrated fringe of scales. After a yierka has had its hide color change from moving to room with a different climate, it will appear as a sinewy (color) fringe-toed yierka with its look description starting with, "Earthy (color) tones mottle the yierka's leathery hide in subtle bands." It will remain this color until it is moved an area with a different climate. Usage Note: Only the verbs differing from the common and uncommon tier will be included below.

Ambients The yierka has two "special" ambient messages. For one of them, it has a rare item drop for a piece of bait compatible with the fishing system.

This happens when the yierka is brought into a room with a different climate setting. The end color result is entirely random and is drawn from the list of lizard mount available features. The yierka will maintain this skin color, even after dismissing it and resummoning, until it is brought into a room with a different climate flag, where it may change to another random color on that list.
