Not your Dragon's Breath Weapon

This little guy has his own little breath weapon. When attacked by the spider (a wolf spider, a rather aggressive predator) that is easily 5-6 times his size. The spider clearly flees from the blast.

Apparently these guys feed on nicotine plants and are far more resistant to its harmful affects than humans are, 100 times more resistant . . . of course one must wonder if they lived for 90 years if they would still be as resistant . . . and they use its foul chemicals to breath toxic gas.

Almost like a baby green dragon!
