The Lizard Dactyl

The Lizard Dactyl, like its ancestor is a sun lover, and because of this it was associated in ancient myth to spiritual enlightenment. In ancient Greece, the lizard appealed to Apollo to have eternal light. Egyptian myth aligned the lizard to divine wisdom and good fortune as a symbol of fertility. The solar god Atum created the world and was protector of souls in their journey to the afterlife. Atum travelled across the sky each day and through the underworld at night to be born again. The lizard was sacred to Atum, symbolised in shrine boxes containing mummified lizards. In Roman myth the lizard represented death and resurrection as it hibernates during the winter and of renewal as they shed their skin. The lizard dactyl is industrious and can go for many hours without sleep. It was engineered for agility, able to contradict the laws of gravity, it can scale vertical surfaces and manoeuvre small gaps with dexterity. The lizard dactyl’s hardy disposition and ability to sustain extreme heat is well suited to exploring hostile terrain and establishing new habitats for the space colony. Its ability to shed its skin enables rejuvenation and healing.
