“Down there, the air is hot and still, water is scarce despite the cloying damp, and rumblings can be heard from farther below. I know the Lizard lives at the bottom of this great, deep hole. Our great monster is a big as it needs to be. Some have told of resting an arm upon the cracked dome of its wizened skull, while others have danced along its teeth and dodged between legs the size of watchtowers. Still others have seen the great eye, huge and patient as years, that would bespeak a body the size of mountains.” - from The Lizard of Ooze by Jay Lake
