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. [3]
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.
