Talk:Dune Lizard

Gaile Comments on Fern Lizard Removal

Gaile has been kind enough to clarify the removal of this and several other pets from the game, or modifications of pets, in a very comprehensive post on her talk page. I wanted to add it on each relevant page so this information exists out there and clarifies these issues for a lot of people. I will post her comments relating to this here, and people can decide if they want to quote her directly in the article or paraphrase for encyclopedic style and clarity:

I asked Katy, and she said that as far as she recalls, there's a lizard in Pre-Searing, outside that gate that takes two people to open, by the lake. Is he no longer there? And is/was that the "Fern Lizard?" --Gaile 23:29, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

During one or more of our preview events, we did have a tame-able lizard in the game, may have been named Fern Lizard, and I'm thinking so because you guys have good memories. :) We liked the lizard, but when we added the Crystal Desert, later in the development schedule, we decided that the lizard was really more cool in that environment, so we did a modest change to the appearance and we moved the little guy over to the desert. -- Gaile 01:19, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

While she doesn't confirm the name change, an old search through Google and the various fan forums, 'Fern Lizard' gets a lot of hits from back in 2005 so I beleive the name is correct. While it is not complete removal, well sort of, it is new info on a topic not a lot of people knew existed. 122.104.229.93 03:23, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

This is a forum topic on the Pre-Searing Website discussing the exhistance of the Fern Lizard; http://presearing.com/forum2/index.php?topic=6139.0. Dancing Gnome 03:44, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

I have removed the info about the skin change until I see a picture which shows a variation. At the moment I am beginning to think it might be wrong. Dancing Gnome 12:47, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
