RAZORFRILL GECKO

The Razorfrill Gecko is an arboreal predator endemic to the Tropical Forest in the Asari Region of the Habitual Belt on VOI 700 D. Named for the retractable frills along its neck and tail, this small but fierce reptile uses a combination of camouflage and ambush tactics to hunt prey.
