By the way, apropos of art, while doing that search, I also found a page with some lizards & snakes named after Dragaeran characters, which I thought was amusing. http://www.purpledragon.org/zoo.htm Looking carefully at the images of Bearded Lizards and iguanas on that page, I think I have found the models that Steve Hickman combined into his image of a jhereg in the cover art of /Dragon/: http://www.stephenhickman.com/index1.html That is, iguanas have the dorsal spike-like things, and the other lizards have the beard, and it looks like both of those characteristics went into the image.
