Anatomy:
Firelizards are a common enough pet no matter where on Pern you live. The fore-runners to dragons, Firelizards look almost exactly like their kin, only in miniature, with even the large Gold Queens only being the length of a full grown human's forearm. They are akin to dragons in almost every respect appearance wise, and while unable to speak with their chosen bond-mate, they have a decent memory and use thought-images to get their point across.
Lifestyle:
Firelizards do not care about who they impress to gender or sexuality wise. They impress also only to people, or on the occasion bondeds, that have food for them. Even after their bonded dies, a firelizard can re-impress to someone else. The same also goes for the human or creature that bonded to the firelizard. They too can re-impress to a new flit.
Mating/Clutching:
Mating for firelizards is exactly the same as with dragons. *See the dragon info for more details on that* The only difference is that both Green and Gold flits clutch. Greens will clutch anywhere from 1-4 eggs, while Golds can clutch from 6-20 eggs. However, like with whers some eggs, especially in green clutches, end up being duds.
Eye colors:
blue/green = contentment or happiness
yellow = fear or alert
orange/red = anger
red = hunger
white = danger
gray = pain
purple = love/mating lust
