This species is distinguished from other species by the dark rings surrounding their eyes and patches on their lips. Their backs have a dark shade of grey that lightens as they get older. Female Vaquitas tend to grow larger than males.

The Terror skink is a skink exclusively found in New Calendonia. It was assumed to be extinct until 1993, when the species was rediscovered. It is 50 cm in length, making it the second largest living reptilian predator on the island. It has curved teeth, suggesting predatory habits. This is unusual for skinks, which are omnivorous.
