Browsing though the forums, I realized that there wasn't a thread for my favorite Suresh, Mohinder the Lizard! No matter what you say, he's essential to the plot...and is definatly due for a return. NBC?

Talk about Heroes's only reptile here!

I am greatly saddened to see there is not more Lizard!Mohinder love going on here! So I will contribute.

First, what the hell? Who names a lizard after their son? Especially their still-living son? Aren't name-sakes usually something you do to memorialize a person who has passed on? Was naming the lizard after his son an act of affection for his living child on Chandra's part, or a demeaning insult to the child that disappointed him?

Also, I think there might be an interesting symbolism in the naming of a water dragon Mohinder, because these lizards eat insects, like crickets, and... cockroaches? Considering Sylar's symbolic ties to cockroaches, the insect-eating lizard could be seen as a symbol of Mohinder's antagonistic relationship with Sylar. Hmm, probably reading to far in there, but the idea strikes me as interesting, anyway.

I sure hope we see more Lizard!Mo in season 2. I'll be sad if that particular bit of inanity just gets swept under the carpet. T_T

I too think that Mohinder T. Lizard was cool on the show. Pretty interesting that Chandra named him after his son. I hope we see more of him in season 2.

Finally someone replied in this thread for poor reptail Mohinder. I was going to write something myself, but didn't knew why, so I just backed off.

Mohinder the Lizard at Heroes Wiki. Here's hoping we see more of him!

ZOMG Mohinder is going to eat Sylar!11!111!11 or maybe not...

LOL, yeah, I wondered about that too. I like to think it was a sign of affection on Chandra's part... I mean he's in a new country, striking out all by himself on research that nobody supports him on, he probably wants a reminder of home. Naming a lizard after your kid is weird, but I guess it's sort of cute when you think about it that way. Maybe he missed having someone to argue with his theories about and yelled at the lizard.

Mohinder didn't seem very fond of Mohinder...

lol, Mohinder didn't seem very fond of Mohinder

but he was wondering how he should feed Mohinder (himself ? ) when Eden passed.

was there even a reason that the lizard was in the show, was it just somting the writers or tim cring for the heck of it to give mohinder's father some life or was it just something for laughs or maybe it may sound stupid but maybe like most scientists ( although Chandra is a genetisist ) they test on animals and the lizard may have some insegnifigent (or not ) power or it might be a human with the power of changing into animals

Chandra testing on Mohinder Lizard? That's possible...but I don't think so. I think the lizard was just added in...to give Chandra more of a llife.

Cool f***ing lizard, that's all I can say

With the title of next weeks episode being "Lizards," do you think we will see Mohinder T. Lizard again? I hope so.

Lol, I definently think it's a possiblity!

Probably, since Matt, Molly, and Mohinder are living in Chandra's apartment in NY, and Eden and Mohinder just kinda left the lizard there in S1, I think...

lol, that'd be funny if it were dead >__<

[[[haaaaawwwttthhh! *glomps* hi! ]]]]]]]]

Lizards regenerate, don't they? My theory is the lizard and Mohinder have some genetic trait in common. Maybe Chandra planted some of his son's genes in the lizard? Or maybe the lizard is producing antibodies to the virus, like the human Mohinder.

no. not like Claire, anyway

some lizards can grow a replacement tail, but they don't re-grow bone. the new tail is different from the original. and the lizards that do that are in the minority anyway

I'm kinda disappointed. I haven't seen Mohinder T. Lizard at all in Season 2.

Yeah, not even in the episode "Lizards"! That could have been reptile Mohinder's finest hour!

there's a tank in Claire's new biology class that has the same "Symbol" stick that was in Mohinder the Lizard's tank

come to think of it, it may be the same tank ... and, for all we know, Mohinder's still in it

I was hoping that "Mohinder" the lizard would have been on the episode "Lizards" also.

I'm thinking that is was a bit odd to get a semi expensive pet ($50 and up) that needs to eat live food ($2 to $5 a week) and not have anyother reason for him to be there than just to remind Papa C. of home.

Please bring Mohinder the lizard back so we can get some questions answered... like how does a lizard without sticky feet climb up a bookcase and knock over a very heavy bood without getting squished.

For all we know, Mohinder might have donated Lizard!Mohinder to science and it ended up in Claire's biology class.

lol that could be possible

i thought mohinder the lizard wouldve been in more episodes though. i was pretty sure he was a shapeshifter that can turn into animals that was spieing on him and now on claire

I hope that little Mo is still there feasting on crickets every couple of days.
Maybe if Sylar picks him up Little Mo can leave some type of toxic slime on his hand and he'll (Sylar that is) will die from it. Go, Go Little Mo...

For some reason I'm feeling like we won't be seeing Mohinder T. Lizard again this season. It'd be cool if he played a pivotal role but I doubt it. Will we ever see him again?

i hope we see him agian but i doubt it

I, too, hope to see Mohinder the Lizard again... but I doubt that he'll make another appearance. It seems that he finished his acting career in Season One.

...Although, doesn't Molly need a pet? *wink wink* "Normal" kids usually have pets, right? (Ok, I know that I'm reaching there...)

Maybe she could share it with Micah

I vote to bring little Mo back to Heroes.
Anyone know how to start a poll or start a petition?

How to start a poll on the forum? Like start a topic but instead of a topic have it be a poll? I know how to do that...

I've tried a few different times to start a poll but it never worked. (puppy pout)

I've a potential spoiler-related theory that Mohinder the Lizard will appear again early in S3 (read below if you don't mind being spoiled):
Mohinder could use him to do testing of a power swapping virus, but it end up swapping the both the Lizard's mind and wall-crawling ability, and that's why Mohinder will end up crawling on the ceiling/wall of his office as one of E! Kristin's spoilers claimed.

Poor little Mohinder! I still can't quite work out who has been feeding him since Eden went missing and Mohinder went around the country searching for superheroes!

Yeah, that's what I started thinking recently, honestly.

That would be... weird.

Does the lizard really need a thread?

I liked him, it was cute. I wished its regenerative abillity would have be fully explored by Mohinder. o.O

Hmm.. Maybe Mohinder will do it like The Lizard from Marvel, do some science on his lizard and have some regenarative super serum? No, NO WAY that or anything about any super serum wouldn't happen on Heroes, they are just too cool for that, right?

Am I the only one who thinks Mohinder is turning into a lizard, and that Mohinder the lizard was foreshadowing? I mean, come on... he can climb walls and woke up with scales on his back!

... I agree with you, I thought the same thing. I was thinking that Chandra named the lizard Mohinder because he knew if his son were to develop an ability it would be rather lizardlike. We'll need to see what the writers write though.

I understand what you guys are talking about but that would mean Mohinder has more of a mutation rather than an ability. But he did say, "he got the formula wrong."

This Mohinder situation totally reminds me of "The Fly." Lizards don't make cocoons as far as I know... insects make cocoons.

MOHIZARDDDDDDD

like i said on another thread...does he have a veryyyyyyy long tongue now? like lizards? hence maya sticking by him? hmmmmmmmmmmmm
heheheh

I agree, Mo is not lizardlike. Seems more spider like. Ick.

Something occured to me today.....

Whatever happened to the lizard? I mean, is he dead, is he wild in New York, is he still in the apartment and spends his days setting traps to get rid of that usurper the turtle in a Tom and Jerry scenario only with reptiles?

I guess Mohinder the lizard was written off the show. Too bad.
Or, maybe he went with Molly to India. It would be more "Natural Habitat" for him if so.
