Sympathy
The tamer is a nervous scavenger who unintentionally tamed three lizards by accidentally dropping the prey they caught when a lizard approaches them. When it realised the three lizards weren't hunting it anymore, it hesitantly brought them to their tribe. Now they're in charge of the lizards and their maintenance -- such as looking after their bodypaint and feeding them.
Likes
Their tamed lizrads, even though they're still a little scary.- Pearls, as expected.
- The safety of their den. Nothing beats a good rest after a long cycle of running around with their lizards.
Dislikes
Hostile lizards. They fear lizards the most, tamed or not. it's complicated.- Lantern mice, they are creepy. Fortunately they don't see them very often.
- Fast creatures. They are easily startled by them and they have a tendency to drop everything they are holding when something sneaks up on them.
They're quite skittish and is more likely to throw warning attacks than attack lethally They are very scared of lizards yet they ironically trained three successfully. In dangerous situations they're very likely to run and hide than face the danger head on. They much prefer hunting non-hostile creatures such as yeeks.
Abilities
Lizard riding: They can hold onto a lizard and command them if they're not feeling too stubborn. Useful for hunting trips.- Painting: They have to paint their tamed lizards to distinguish them from the hostiles. They have gotten quite confident with paint.
Design
Their pupils are optional if you prefer to stay true to the randomly generated sprite it's based on.
Relationships
They are their beloved family and there's nowhere else they would rather be. While their packmembers consider them to be a little bit of a goof and a coward, they appreciate them nonetheless. The lizards were quite a surprise only they would be able to bring accidentally.
It's an easy mode of transportation across big gaps, but quite terrifying. It doesn't help that it likes to show off when they're on its back. Otherwise its a nice creature and useful for hunting trips againts smaller prey animals.
It throws it weight around far too much for their liking. Being stuck under its weight isn't all that fun. It makes a good pillow, though. Useful for both hunting and defending their outposts due to its strong jaws. It is slow though so long trips aren't recommended with it in tow.
It's rather weak and pathetic for a lizard so it doesn't make a great fighter. It's decent company though. They have grown fond of it. It's also hard to keep alive due to its placement in the food chain amongst lizards. Blue is best kept separated from Cyan and Caramel when supervision isn't possible.
History
The taming process was wholly accidental. They happened to be carrying prey each time one of the three lizards attempted to attack them and in their frightened state they dropped everything weighting them down to effectively escape. This led to a situation where they were cornered by three lizards because they mistook their insistent following for extremely hostile behaviour. It luckily wasn't, as the lizards no longer showed any interest in attacking them. And as they refused to stray from their side, they had to bring them back to their nest and train the lizards for acceptable behaviour around other scavengers.
Life with lizards
Their tribe very hesistantly accepted the lizards among them on the condition that Graceful Claw keeps an eye on them at all times and works on their behaviour. They were very nervous about the idea but complied nonetheless. Establishing Blue's safety took a lot of patience, but eventually Cyan and Caramel accepted it as one of them. Desensitizing them for riding was a chaos other scavengers loved to observe from the side. A lot of treats went into the training process but at the end the lizards learned to listen to them most of the time. They accepted the commands such as 'stay, leave it, attack' surprisingly well, and their list of commands is still growing.
Lizards successfully trained, Graceful Claw could bring them to hunting trips and defending their turf. They're still very much their responsibility as other scavengers are still hesistant to approach them and the lizards are more prone to ignoring commands that do not come from them.
Miscellaneous
I haven't decided which area they would live in, but it probably could either be Outer Expanse or Farm Arrays. They're part of a Toll tribe.
