The Galapagos marine iguana
These iguanas are endemic to, you guessed it, the Galapagos Islands. They live up to the Galapagos’ reputation of vast diversity and evolutionary uniqueness from the rest of their counterparts around the world.
Not only are they the only species of Iguana to be partly aquatic, but they have also developed into 11 subspecies unique to their region. The species as a whole is currently classified as vulnerable with all 11 subspecies considered vulnerable or endangered.
These not-so-little guys can often be seen basking on the hot rocks. Much like other iguana species, they regulate body heat this way. The difference for marine iguanas is these afternoon baskings serve an additional purpose. This is a vital part of their aquatic nature; warming their bodies like this is how they counter the cold of the ocean waters.
Spending up to 30 minutes in the water and diving to 20 meters, these cold-blooded reptiles definitely need it!
All that time in the salty Pacific can undeniably dry you out and cause dehydration. And just as they always do here on the Galapagos, the marine iguanas have found a solution: Salty Snot Rockets.
Special glands they've developed allow them to eject the salt from the ocean.
Threats to their populations include climate change, specifically El Niño events.
While these miraculous animals are fully protected under law, this doesn't exempt them from the harms caused by none other than mankind. Human introduction of invasive species is putting these incredibly unique animals at risk. Bringing animals like cats and dogs to the islands has created new predators to Marine Iguana eggs and juveniles.
Beyond that, we, the human species, do what we do best... destroy and pollute. Oil spills, microplastics, habitat loss, and the like, impose great harm here just as in many other places around the world.

Full disclosure: I wanted to paint a sacabambapsis. They are such weird little guys who could either be happy little torpedos or eldritch nightmare creatures based on the record we have of them and I love that. I love that they're a meme! I love that this long dead creature is iconic!
I didn't want him to be all alone though so I looked up some other fossil recreations and found this really cool looking proto-salamander to paint with him.
You conjure a spirit from the Muppet Show or Sesame Street in an unoccupied space you can see within range. The spirit lasts for the duration, and looks like a Muppet of your choice. When the spirit appears, you can make a melee spell attack against a creature within 5 feet of it. On a hit, the target takes 1d12, 2d12, 3d12, ah ah ah damage. Plus your spellcasting ability modifier.
