A type of small, lizard-like reptile belonging to the family Agamidae, found primarily in arid and semi-arid regions.
From Latin 'aqua' (water) combined with the suffix '-id' (member of a group), though the term somewhat misleadingly includes 'aqua' despite many species being desert-dwelling.
Despite having 'aqua' in their name, most aquarids are desert specialists that avoid water—it's a naming quirk that shows how scientific names don't always perfectly describe the creature!
