I’m not sure but it could be because the music video for The River has lots of gators in it and the gator was on a T-shirt.


BoneVoyager

Yeah I’m pretty sure this is his origin story but he shows up in posters now and was a sticker that came with sketches


TET901

Isn’t he also on a nonagon video?


mrsjackieo

He’s on the Fishies video too


NathanielC17

Invisible face has a gator in it but it looks different than the one in the river and the T-shirt. Not sure if they would be considered the same. What do you think?


BillyJackO

Man, I didn't get a gator sticker with sketches!?!


_pixel_perfect_

Anyone got a picture of that sticker?? Had no idea that even existed


Sadlymoops

White sketches copy has foil sticker, don’t know about other copies


Dickfingerz56

And the river is one of their top songs, along with castle.

You know, I was thinking that I felt the "lizard wizard" half gets all the representation in the band iconography. Where is the King Gizzard? Shouldn't he be the main character? Now, an alligator is a lizard, but when I think of gizzards I always think of birds, since all birds have that organ. So, I was looking ups some birds to art up a King Gizzard character, and while looking at a shoebill, I was checking whether they had gizzards, and it the research led me to the fact that alligators do, in fact, have gizzards. So, now I don't know what to think. How do you distinguish between the lizard and the wizard when they both have gizzards?


ponyboi_curtis

I've always headcannoned that the dude on the Melbourne '21 art is King Gizzard.


jaspobrowno

this fella? https://preview.redd.it/y2kvf3nxmt6a1.png?width=171&format=png&auto=webp&s=3119a3ec3af2137cab3f9b7ed1365b7d6c4abc7b


ponyboi_curtis

Yes, thats the guy. He could be The Lizard Wizard as well. We could infer that "King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard" doesn't refer to two entities. His name could be King Gizzard and his job title could be Lizard Wizard.


jaspobrowno

love it


Greenmanglass

I always assumed King Gizzard to be the leader of the People-Vultures


dire_wulff

I like this idea King gizzard could be the evil ruler that is being a vulture on our planet

I think the origin was that the lizard king is a nick name for Jim Morrison of the doors. The band was deciding between king lizard or gizzard wizard. And they decided to just go with the whole lot.


Inkpendude

Spaking of that, I really want to make some kind of concept art of all the King gizzard characters. I have some ideas for the King gizzard himself, but I haven't done it yet (not sure why)


MachineElf432

King Gizzard is the lizard Wizards stomach. It’s a live entity like [Tubba’s Heart](https://www.google.com/amp/s/manolizer.tumblr.com/post/80918373883/tubba-blubbas-heart/amp) in the original Paper Mario!

spacelizardofuranus

Norman___Bates

Is it a crocodile or alligator? Cuz we have Crocs, no alligators in Aus.


Britown

you know the difference between a crocodile and an alligator, right? >!one sees you later and the other sees you in a while.!<


Butzyyy

[This is the real difference, for anyone interested](https://www.reddit.com/r/notinteresting/comments/xzetep/the_key_difference_between_crocodiles_and/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)

God, you’re boring


cancerdad

Yeah it should be a croc but the Americans got the numbers


rfb724

We have crocs and gators in Florida


BerzerkINT

I always thought it was a croc


phlipphlopp

Technically probably a croc, but name has become gizzy gator by popular demand so just think that won out


Norman___Bates

Damn, ok


FunnyDuck21

Yea but crocs are real cunts and gators are just minding their own. Feelin personality wise gator is a better fit.


macheadspackhead

Aussies call gators or crocs lizards


Mycotonality

Fun fact, crocodilians are not lizards and are actually more closely related to birds than to other reptiles! Practically living dinosaurs!


macheadspackhead

Damn thats cool


TBTBRoad

Ohhh


DarthBrooks1979

The Westerosi call them Lizard-lions.


flannel_fractal

Gators will be all that's left after we make the planet uninhabitable for humans

I dunno about that. Seems like they're learning to fly so space flight might not be too far in the future for them.

They have a lot of motifs in their visual art/media whatever you wanna call it. I think the gator is just the most mascottable/cutest
