About the animal

A large African lizard often found near water; introduced populations also occur in the United States. [2]

Natural-history context from Frontier’s account. Wild behaviour and diet do not verify the game’s social limits, food items or breeding mechanics.

Before building

Use these checks when the game is available. They are planning suggestions, not tested requirements.

  • Check usable ground space, boundary suitability and access in the game.
  • Record social limits, feeding costs and enrichment from the species panel; biome tags do not verify these values.
