"The benevolent dragon" … An ancient one who is little understood. Patient, gentle, kind and understanding. Due to their scurrying natures, quick pace and lightning reaction times, the Iguana lizard is considered the consummate escape artist. This makes them symbolic of our ability to recognize danger and remove ourselves from harm's way when the situation calls for it. Furthermore, most Iguanas are gifted with various forms of camouflage, and trickery to allude predators (like detaching their tails of caught by a hungry predator so that the Iguana can escape to live another day). These gifts of illusion are symbolic messages to us that within us (as children of nature ourselves) we have impressive gifts we may utilize for our well-being.
