Biology

Salazzle is a female-only species, due to the fact that only female Salandit can evolve. Its body emits pheromones that cause males of any species, including Salandit, to obey it. Salazzle create reverse harems of male Salandit, who offer their food and are consequently unable to evolve due to malnutrition.

Design & origin

Salazzle is based on the Mourning Gecko, an all-female species of lizard.
