——————————— > a predator species by the name of wimbleton has surfaced on nevada soil thousands years ago. It is a carnivorous member of the varanidae family that has a few peculiar mutations, not only do thye sport 3 pairs of limbs, they also have borrowed from owls their blood red eyes, alongside its forked tongue it is an expert at tracking down and preying on its food of the day. After a hearty meal, they do not lay back down, as rotund a some of them may look, wimbletons are quite fast and their third pair of legs at all the way back work as an untapped supply of energy if one of its legs gives out. Thankfully, they do not eat grunts, but there have been instances of them attacking those it sensed danger from. Nowadays however, domesticated wimbletons are used as guard creatures or regular pets, they are mischievous and always up for trouble, whether it be hunting birds for sport and falling into your backyard (it is to be noted wimbletons will not make dumb decisions like jumping out onto a street, they have knowledge of grunt harm) or trying to bite your furniture to leave some of its potent venom on it, theres no telling what a wimbleton will do and so it is crucial you have experience with rowdy or aggressive animals before adopting a "wimbly"
Wimbletons hatch from eggs as dark balls of scales and earn their stripes with further molts. Scientists have not found out or caught on camera how their eggs are made and many claim that wimbleton eggs simply appear as the maker wills it, while others figured out they simply pop these out every once in a while, which is likely why the species hasnt become more "sharper" and "deadlier" in a while, its natures way of keeping them the way they are. Either way, a newly hatched wimble will be around 46 cm long but quite round before its body weight spreads to the rest of it. After that, a wimbleton can grow up to 90 to 110 cm long, while they are pets, they are large pets.
image id: a newly hatched wimbleton feeling its enviorement as its eyes are not developed yet, it is resting on a gentle rug still covered in "egg fluids", the egg is behind it and in the background theres another grunt in the background holding a phone and a computer on the left side.
its important to remember wimbletons are awfully smart for their lizard origins, they know what a camera is and oftentimes face away from it when photographed without being told its coming, the only gap between them and us is that they do not have a language we understand or our vocal strings. You can teach your wimbleton language. However, this is all from the nevada wilderness research institute, have fun and remember to adopt before buying.
(one of our trusted stray shelters is about to open when we introduce the rest of the cast. Stay tuned!)
