Örykdym (Kyþus) Weltfespoar (Waejir) Lodge lizards form communal nest-rafts of reeds, branches, and other floating detritus. They weave simple buttressed domes of the same material to form primitive drifting house boats. These homes sail about on the currents and winds of many freshwater lakes and some marshlands. Over time, airborne seeds and such get trapped in the structure, take root and form a natural living sod roof, with mosses, grasses, flowers and other plants, including small trees. Eventually the weight of the roof and hosted plant life will sink the lodge or cause it to run aground on sand bars or shallow reefs. The lizards then abandon the lodge to build anew. The former lodge has sufficient soil and structure to be a small ready made island. The hollow space of the lodge provides nest space for birds, and burrows for other small animals.
