The story of Iguapard
The Iguapard is a large, muscular creature that combines the robust physique of an iguana with the striking beauty of a snow leopard. Its body measures up to 6 feet in length, covered in a blend of shimmering green scales and soft, spotted fur, allowing it to camouflage seamlessly in both woodland and snowy environments. Its powerful limbs are equipped with retractable claws, and its long tail aids in balance. The Iguapard has keen eyesight adapted for both day and night, with slitted pupils that can adjust to varying light conditions.
Special abilities

From the Iguana
Real-world basis: The Iguana's saliva contains compounds that can cause mild paralysis, adapted here for hunting purposes.
Camouflage Adaptation
The Iguapard can blend into its surroundings, making it nearly invisible to predators and prey alike.
From the Iguana
