Basin description[]
The Lizardland planet is a very dynamic planet with constant variations of temperature and pressure, especially in the extratropical zones, preventing the formation of tropical cyclones there, being that these usually appear near the coasts, for these provide a more stable environment and less changing, cyclones that form near the equator are considered subtropical (example:Francisco,Ibañez) and those that form in the Main Development Region are considered tropical.
