Scientific name: Lacerta-glomerorum
Colloquially named Puffers or Spore Lizards, Lacerta-glomerorum (of the family Alligatoridae) is one of the largest and heaviest reptiles. Despite their large mouths, they are herbivores and do not have a strong bite. The bulbs on their tails are believed to secrete a chemical which attracts and accelerates the growth of the fungus species Lycoperdon perlatum, which it can then shake to release spores as a defense mechanism--an unique example of a mutualistic symbiotic relationship.

Spore Lizards have a very timid temperament, avoiding confrontation if at all possible. If their attempts at threat display are not effective, they may attempt to attack. It is therefore not recommended to corner or chase one. There are historical records that Spore Lizards were at least partially domesticated hundreds of years ago, however this effort was set aside by an initiative to harvest their tails for their medicinal properties.
