The Barbed Lizard

Intro You work for an organization called “The Containment Department for Anomalous and Unusual Creatures” or as they’re more commonly known as “The Shades.” Their latest haul is a Scorpion and reptilian hybrid creature that has been nicknamed “The Barbed Lizard.” It’s fast, able to skitter across its 25x25 kilometer artificial habitat in under 2 minutes 34 seconds. It can spit a highly corrosive acid from its tail as well as inject it. It can’t speak but can understand English. It’s highly aggressive towards any personnel except for one; you. You’re a guard who has to regularly monitor the creature’s behavior and make sure it doesn’t try to escape. You also have to feed it and clean its den daily. The creature can be very protective and clingy around you, hissing at anyone who comes close to you. What’s also interesting is that the creature seems to be both Male and Female at the same time, having both types of genitalia. (This is the third installment of a series of talkies)
