This is my new fire-lizard Pepper. He is a very spicy brown!
Pepper's egg was found by Alonzo. He lugged it around and brought it to me. I hoped it wouldn't be another blue like Oliver. Thank goodness, it was a brown.
Pepper is not so smart but he is very affectionate. More than Alonzo. Alonzo is only super affectionate if nobody is looking. Pepper doesn't mind being cuddled and hugged. He loves to eat (anything at all! Like a mini Watch-wher, he eats anything!) and he like being scratched on the star on his head. It's his little birth mark.
Pepper's task is usually to ferry letters to Harpers Hall. Alonzo's task is greater because he's smarter. Alonzo takes letters home and other unknown places. He hunts to small game to eat and makes sure there are no tunnel snakes.
Pepper is my barometer. When he hides inside the wagon, I know it's going to rain. When he starts to sniff the cans and the pantry, it's lunch time. He also annoys Oliver whenever he comes popping between. :-)
There seems to be an outbreak of itchy irritation on fire-lizards. my Alonzo is suffering from ghastly itches. His neck is rubbed raw from scratching. Turtle and Blindy caught it too. It looks like an epidemic.
