Vernon: It was actually a bit more difficult to find out exactly what species of lizard she was than y'all would probably expect.

Dawn: We didn't really have a starting point in terms of research, and zoogling vague visual qualifiers brought back too many results to pick through.

Vernon: Decribin' the egg she came out of and her shape and colors was a bit too vague fer a simple search.

Dawn: But we figured we'd get our answer when the time came to take her to the vet and get her looked over. And....that's when we found out that Princess Callibrie is a Prench Komodo Dragon...

Vernon: That is, after spendin' about twenty minutes tryin' to lure a spooked lizard out of Dawn's wool.

Dawn: Yes...but she won't be able to hide up there forever as we came to find out. You see, all I really knew about Komodo Dragons was that there's a wild species of them that have poisonous saliva, and they tend to get really, really big.

Vernon: And while it turned out that Prench Komodo dragon's had the bacteria bred out of their spit...well, the sellin' point is the luster of their scales and that they grow up to be some of the largest lizards out there...we're talkin' bigger than my Honey Lamb.

Dawn: Naturally we....were very concerned about that. Even without the deadly saliva, a lizard that big could be a danger to our pups, or me. But the vet reassured us that Prench Komodo Dragons are very family friendly pets.

Vernon: Aside from bein' a bit moody from time to time. *Chuckles*

Dawn: Still, Vernon and I had to have a serious discussion about whether it was responsible or safe to keep a pet like Princess around our pups due to size alone. But after hearing the breed was good with lambs, and well...seeing how she gets along with them...

Vernon: And Yuri. *Laughs*

Dawn: We ultimately decided that there was no way we could give her off to a reptile shelter.

Vernon: Yep, she's part of the family now. I don't think the pups would have stood fer us given' her away.

Dawn: I wouldn't have been able to resist the Puppy Eye's Lily would have given me, despite all the training.

Vernon: So now our goal is to try and steer ol' P.C. Away from crawlin' up on Floofy's poof before she get's to big...

Dawn: Seriously, if she tries to climb into my wool at her adult size, she'll break my neck!
