The Thorny Dragon goes by a lot of names - such as Thorny Devil, Mountain Devil, Thorny Lizard, Horned Lizard, and Horny Toad. Those are a LOT of names and these names all describe the animal pretty well.
Its body structure makes the animal seem like it has horns, so that explains why the word "horn" is used in some of its names. Having those horns also explains why this creature is called "devil."
Although it somewhat looks like a species of frog, it's not really a toad. The most accurate name for this creature is "lizard" because it really is a species of lizard.
Still, its most popular name is Thorny Dragon - because it really looks like a dragon. In fact, if you see a close up photo of this animal, you might think that it's some kind of a big, scary dragon, but it's not that big at all.
The Thorny Dragon is an Australian Lizard.
Being a lizard - an Australian Lizard to be exact - the Thorny Dragon is a small animal. You can even hold it in your hands.
