The only member of genus Chlamydosaurus, the frillnecked lizard was depicted on the reverse of the Australian two cent coin until 1991. Indigenous to the northern regions of Australia and southern New Guinea, the frill-necked lizard spends most of its time in trees, venturing to the ground only to hunt for the insects and small rodents that make up its diet. When threatened, Frilly opens his mouth wide and extends the colorful ruff around his neck. If that doesn’t work, he runs fast and far away from threats, never stopping or looking back until reaching safety.

Our Frilly is a cozy balaclava, perfect for a day on the slopes or a chilly Halloween night. The helmet is made from solid yarn colors, while the frill gets its natural look from a coordinating long-repeat self-striping yarn. The points on the frill are stiffened with monofilament fishing line. Remember: If your frill doesn’t scare your foe, run away.
