Edgardo

It's Edgardo!

An uncanny giant pale rock-skinned lizard with big white diamond eyes and sharp, rock-chewing diamond teeth, found by Fernando during the young Centurions' adventure in the Wizard's Cave of Alderley Edge, and tamed, for a time, using the Monster Flute given to him by the Faerie Knight. Subsequently named by the Galician as well. Incredibly sturdy, Edgardo repeatedly protected Fernando and his allies from various calamities raining down on them from above due to the mathemagical trickery of Dr. Methuselah by sheltering them under its body. It exhibited some fear/hatred of open fire, but not enough to actually deter it while in Fer's service. Although it wandered off briefly to eat a wine cellar after its initial help, becoming highly intoxicated and excited in the process, it was called back to help Fer and Sarah catch up with their allies and assisted during the confrontation with Methuselah, sheltering Fer's friends and eating his enemies. Without his help and sturdy hide, the young Centurions' story might easily have ended right there. But in the end, after emerging from the cave somewhat triumphant, they had to let the subterranean lizard go, much to Fernando's regret, as he had grown attached to the strange creature...
