[lore, sketches] Sleepy grabs (Patreon)

Yaraga have a funny reflex when they sleep - they grab anything that is near and won't let it go easily. You can see one always holding own tail, pillow or edge of a blanket in their sleep. If Yaraga seems to be sleeping, but not holding something like that - he's not sleeping for real.  

It comes, actually, from their evolution, due to they came to be from predatory mountain lizards of their homeland of tropical volcanic areas. So when they were sleeping on threes or cliffs, they had to clench to it for not to fall off. 

Time passed, habit stayed...
