Eublepharis macularius

[Turukano]

I wondered why team captain Charly chose the strange name Eublepharis macularius as clan name for the recent 0.19 tournament. Now that the tourney is over I looked it up.

Well, it's just the name for leopard gecko!

It's funny that cute leopard geckos are indeed severe threats for XL1 characters.

a horrable monster

That's a fat tail.

As a leopard gecko owner, can confirm they are deadly opponents capable of killing a trained gladiator in single combat.

BONUS GECKO FACT: "Eublepharis" refers to the fact that, unlike other geckos, they have eyelids; most geckos have clear scales called "brille" over their eyes instead.

An interesting fact is that they rank as top killer #15 in the 0.19 tournament

  Code:

15   leopard gecko (1277 melee, 4 ranged)   1.63%   1281


as well as in crawl's overall statistics

  Code:

15   giant gecko   1.65%   107138


More than 100,000 kills in crawl history!

FR: leopard geckos drop their tails when threatened and the tail flops around and distracts you for a turn

wat

If a player gets poisoned by an adder, then polymorphs it into a gecko, is the kill attributed to a gecko's poison?
Or maybe if a gecko is polymorphed into a dart slug and it kills him at range the killer is deemed to be the gecko after all?

[Blomdor]

Why? Why must we be forced into deadly combat against such a tiny adorable little fat tailed dawwww?

[scorpionwarrior]

not sure if this would make you feel better, but you can pretend they're of the "super giant" breed who look like little alligators

[ZipZipskins]

nah it just makes me want one of those tiny alligators

I think I just solved that mystery: inner flame
