Lizards are cold blooded and can’t stray too far from heat lamps

When they get too cold they become so sluggish they can’t even defend themselves from predators

Seems a strange species to portray our galactic overlords as

None of these people imagining it ever had a bearded dragon pet? I have. They also live pretty short lives. Beardies you’re looking at like what? 6 years?

Should have said our Galapagos Giant Tortoise overlords, at least then they live long human-like lives and are harder to kill

The choice of lizard, I believe, symbolises ancientness and a lack of empathy.
