De-Tailer Lizard

De-Tailer Lizard
DARK
✪✪✪ (Level 3)
[Reptile/Effect]
ATK/ 600 DEF/ 1750

If a Reptile monster you control is targeted by a card effect or for an attack: You can banish this card from your hand or GY; negate that attack or effect, and if you do, Special Summon 1 "Tail Token" (Zombie/DARK/Level 1/ATK 0/ DEF 0). While this Token is on your side of the field, your opponent cannot target Reptile monsters you control for attacks.

 

Concept and Wordplay:

Spoiler

So the concept is based off the defense mechanism in some species of lizards where they detach their own tail to bait predators into focusing on that instead of them.

Wordplay wise:

It is simply re-purposing the word "detail" to mean detaching the tail instead of its original definition.

I like this one. I appreciate some love for Reptiles, DARK is a good attribute to have, and being live when drawn is a welcomed boon. The Token being Zombie is quite flavorful, as well.
If anything, since it's Level3 I would suggest to make it a Tuner for Needlefiber to get in tin the GY more easily, but that's an overused suggestion from me xD
Funnily enough, Danger! Tsuchinoko, a fellow DARK/Reptile, is Level3 as well, and the support from Dangers! can assist in getting this on hand or GY. Seems to me they would be good pals.
