Time taken: 3 hours, a mix of traditional colouring (the lizard) and digital (the basic background)

Walking jungle lizards are just one of the many creatures to live in the lake, jungle and waterfall covered rocky cliffsides of Basilia. The walking jungle lizard has saliva that causes sped up growth of plants and can quickly heal wounds it's applied to.  Although due to it being a predator it isn't very easy to get, and unfortunately because of a toxin bite that cancels out their saliva's healing abilities, you won't heal if it decides to use you as a chew toy. Like the other walking jungles (as there are walking jungle tigars, elephants, birds, and other animals) they are able to preform photosynthesis to get energy. To adult Tarcads they are no more then a slight hazard simply to be avoided, whereas to redeyes they can be a dangerous predator. While they may seem scary, they are not the biggest thing on Basilia.
