Love Lizards (characters)

The Güiro Lizards (ギロちゃん^?, Giro-chan), also known as the Love Lizards^[1], are a pair of lizards who appear in the Rhythm Game Love Lizards in Rhythm Heaven.

The male lizard is much smaller than his female counterpart. He has spring green skin and four short legs. The most notable part of the lizard is his large, maraca-shaped tail, which has a pink and blue stripe on it. He has two large eyes and a really big smile.

The female lizard is a much larger yellow lizard. She has a significantly longer tail and spikes running up her back. She has a red and green stripe around her neck. She shares the same large eyes and big smile with her partner.

Story

The two lizards live in the desert. When they meet up, they use their tails to make music. The male lizard shakes his tail to make the sound of a maraca, and the female scratches her tail against her back to make rattling sounds. When the two are in perfect sync, they know they're the perfect match for each other.

Female lizards are seen performing around the desert to form a perfect and beautiful rhythmic bond with a male. The Love Lizards love to heat up their cold blood with their loud music and crazy dancing, especially around festival time.

In the Try Again epilogue, where the two lizards are out of sync, the male is seen ditching the female for a different pink one. In the Superb epilogue, the Love Lizards are seen caring for newborns. In Remix 3, the lizards try out a new rhythm.

The lizards appear in the audience in Battle of the Bands, in Rhythm Tengoku Gold Comic 09 にぎやかでおだやかな夜の巻き (A lively and peaceful night by Maki), where they can be seen being romantic next to a bench occupied by the Research Scientists of Love Lab, and in Munchy Monk in Rhythm Heaven Fever, where they can be sometimes seen outside the window.

In Super Smash Bros.

Although the Love Lizards themselves don't appear in the Super Smash Bros. series, the trophy for the Chorus Kids in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS mentions them.

The Chorus Kids
	There are few games with as many charming characters as the Rhythm Heaven series. Take those groovy Love Lizards, for example. Birds could learn a thing or two from them. And what about the Chorus Kids? They look adorable with their little bow ties, but things get odd when they open their mouths...	When it comes to the weird and wonderful, the Rhythm Paradise series has got all other games beat. Take those groovy Love Lizards, for example. Birds could learn a thing or two from them. And what about the Chorus Kids? They look adorable with their little bow ties, but things get a bit freakish when they open their mouths...

Trivia

They are named after the Güiro instrument, and the female functions like one.
