I’m not sure how I knew herpetology was related to amphibians and reptiles, but somehow it popped into my head.

Despite my confidence on the subject, this game was still challenging, as were the beasts themselves; Each word was well camouflaged and we had a spangram that zigzagged throughout the area.
