_-is _*_sick_*

A Lizard has Multi-million dollar insurance company and one of the World's most Popular Social Media Website. I think they are a bit OP

[scullystie]

You forgot the gecko's most OP ability: saving you 15% or more on car insurance

The devs really looked at the Komodo dragon and thought “yeah that’s fine”

[Cottonmouth]

Let’s be real, the Komodo dragon is one of the only animals alive today worthy of Ridley’s theme.

[dragonmaster]

Lizard: * Gains the autotomy ability *
TierZoo: “My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.”

[elwynn]

An update to the Komodo: it was recently discovered they have a subcutaneous bone mesh kind of armor, on top of their already tough hide. This makes them incredibly tanky, as well as being decent damage dealers with their venom.

[jdaniels]

Imagine if Komodo's could bury themselves in the desert's sand to gain enough heat and spit out literal fire.

[GynxShinx]

Tierzoo: "That lizard is A tier."
That lizard: *Gains autotomy*
Tierzoo: "I meant to say B tier."

[teukufarhan]

I love how everytime he talks about autotomy you can hear the tonal shift of a disappointed dad

[the_miracle_aligner]

Great video as always <3 disappointed tho, the Lizard faction that mastered blending in with the human player base and secretly ruling over them didn't even get a mention :(

[methanbreather]

Overlooked features:
Iguanas have pretty devastating bites.
Tegu can raise their body temperature during breeding season, allowing them to be active while other builds still need to bask. They also have a very strong bite and can run pretty fast.
Geckos - some of them can not only shed their tail but also their skin, making grappling attacks much harder to land. Also some gecko species spec heavily in the 'cute' factor, forcing human players to keep them as pets which not only protects them from other pvp players but also results in a good and steady supply of xp.
Monitors not only can run and breath at the same time, their circulatory system has some pretty unique features in their heart resulting in a much better seperation between veinous and arterial blood which means better endurance. They also have a pretty high intelligence for lizards which results in some of them being able to make use of human players as protectors and xp delivery persons - like geckos.

TierZoo is the definition of quality over quantity

[sky-_-]

Me sittiing at my desk with my bearded dragon frank sinatra: It's ok buddy- you're a god tier in my heart

[tomasmakowski]

Is there anyone else that thinks that this whole “evolution as a video game” concept would actually make a really cool/fun video game?

[dank_smirkndchannel]

One other positive about the chameleon's colour change is that they can also use it for thermoregulation, becoming darker to absorb more heat and light to reflect more of it.

[MarkD]

kind of surprised that chameleons' eyes didn't get a mention.

[dinomation]

Iguana: upgrade
Tegu: upgrade
Komodo dragon: perfection.

[alexsavastru]

Chameleon: *specs into absurd stealth abilities*
Also Chameleon: * E M O T E *

[cdesigner]

Using Ridley's theme was perfect for the Komodo dragon.
