One of the other inspirations for this story are backyard lizards. I spent afternoons and evenings meditating on my parents back porch. I would watch ants, birds, lizards, and all type of natural phenomena, while contemplating storytelling. One day I watched a small lizard wreak havoc on the small insects skittering across the cement porch. Stalking and gulping done all kinds of little insects. Oddly enough it reminded me of a comic book run. Silver Surfer Vol.3 as drawn by Ron Lim and written by Steve Engelhardt. I remember part of the story arc involved Silver Surfer traveling with a vicious reptilian alien. If memory serves the subtext of the story talked about the oldest part of the brain, the reptilian brain. I gotta find those issues.
The Reptile brain deals with necessity. Survival.
Lord Lizard is all about survival.
