Miscellaneous Infomation
Info taken from Vana'diel Tribune II Vol 3 article Atelloune's Wildlife Files - Let's Talk Lizards found at http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/vt2/03/index.html
 * Lizards are the most recognizable members of the carnivorous lizard family. There are other types of carnivorous lizards, like Raptors,and Efts.
 * The ones you see the most seem to be hill lizards. They can be found in various regions such as Gustaberg, Southern Zulkheim, Vollbow, and Aragoneu. They generally tend to live in dry areas--the ones that aren't kept as livestock by the Orcs, that is... Oh, you didn't know about that? It's a pretty well-known fact that Orcs raise hill lizards.
 * "Did you know that Orcs raise lizards for food? That's right! They also use them as 'watch lizards' to guard their houses, 'riding lizards' to ride like chocobos, and 'war lizards' to fight for them. Isn't that neat?" [[Image:Ork riding lizard.jpg|thumb|a ork rideing a lizard]]
 * Now that we are revisiting our childhood years, let's take a look at the picture to the right. This is a picture of an Orc knight and a riding lizard that Professor Chanoix claims to have seen in Ghelsba three years ago. Hmm, is it me, or does it look like neither are showing much brain activity?
 * The next most common type of lizard is the ash lizard, found only on the remote island of Elshimo
 * Ash lizards can inhale a little poisonous gas without getting sick, so they can live near volcanic mountains.
 * Carnivores can be largely divided into two types: predators, which hunt their prey, and scavengers that feed on discarded flesh (carrion). The lizard family branched out in both directions. Those that became predators developed quick and powerful legs in order to hunt in packs, and those that became scavengers gained a heightened sense of hearing and smell to detect the cries of prey and the scent of rotting flesh. Many such scavengers also grew in size in order to compete for game with predators."
 * The rise of the beasts dealt an even greater blow to the scavenger lizards. Because of their great size and their lumbering speed, they became easy prey for the agile beast predators.
