Memory:Fire lizard

From the hidden places where fire touches earth comes the much more dangerous cousin of the common cave lizard: the fire lizard. Bright red to red-black tough scales cover the large predator. Beware, for when you see the red glow inside its completely black maw it might already be too late to run. Dry scales scrape against each other, glowing scarlet. It's just a lizard (well, a really big one), but your everyday lizard doesn't leave steaming footprints. A thin reptilian tongue probes the air; it can't have been a gust of flame escaping from the mouth, can it?
