It gained media attention in 2016 when it appeared on an episode of Tosh.0 entitled, "Tiamat the Dragon" in which it discussed its body modifications and becoming a M2F transsexual, and the worlds first and only transspecies human dragon. Tiamat is the only documented transspecies human dragon; it is also the only known person to voluntarily have its ears surgically removed and its nose re-shaped as it sheds its human physical features in its metamorphosis from human to a transspecies human dragon.
