“When you two save the city, maybe everyone will see reptiles ain't that different.”

―Jesús

Jesús is a male plumed basilisk and a character in Zootopia 2.

Physical Appearance

Jesús is a slim basilisk with green scales, teal lips, and dark stripes on his tail. His eyes are brown with yellow sclerae. He wears a yellow collared top, a brown fringe jacket, and red slacks with yellow leaf patterns, as well as a black belt and a large cowboy hat.

Role in the Film

Nibbles Maplestick agrees to help Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde, who are searching for Gary De'Snake, find Jesús, who can give them more information about Gary and a book that Gary stole.

Trivia

• Jesús's name is a play on "Jesus Christ lizard", a common nickname for plumed basilisks that references their ability to run on water for brief amounts of time, similar to the famous biblical figure.
• His cowboy attire could be a reference to the titular character from the Nickelodeon animated film, Rango. However, the former is a basilisk lizard, with the latter being a chameleon.
• He is the second established reptile in the Zootopia franchise after Gary De'Snake.
