An '''argon lizard''' is a miid-sized red dragon with a yellow belly and elephantine ear-flaps, debuting in ''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]''. It has an older, bigger counterpart called the [[Great Argon Lizard]]. The party needs to help [[Prince Charmles]] find the lizards in the Royal Hunting Grounds east of [[Kingdom of Argonia|Argonia]] in order to prove his royal worth. Upon its defeat, it commonly drops the ruby-like Argon Heart (not to be confused with the [[Great Argon Lizard|Great Big Argon Heart]]).
The '''argon lizard''' is a recurring {{MFamilies}} in the {{DQSeries}}.
 
Introduced in {{Dragon Quest VIII}}, it's the diminutive counterpart to the [[Great Argon lizard]].
 
==Characteristics==
An argon lizard is a mid-sized chubby lizard monster. They have red and beige scales and look reminiscent of dragons. They have dinosaur-like arms and legs, each of them ending in hands and feet with little black claws. Their most peculiar body feature is their ear-flaps, that resemble the ones of the Australian lizard [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlamydosaurus chlamydosaurus] which they only open when they feel in danger or, in the argon lizards' case, they attack someone.
 
In the world of {{DQ8}}, argon lizards are very important to the kingdom of [[Argonia]], with the prince being required to retrieve an [[Argon heart]] in order to prove his worth. The environmentally conscientious need not fret, as the "heart" is just a glorified gizzard stone and removing one is not fatal to the animal. In addition to this, royal lizard keepers are tasked with monitoring the species to prevent them from falling into decline.
