So riding a pet around, it seems there's at least one place in Iria that you're not allowed to ride pets through... one of the plateau entrances, right under the word "Kaypi" on the map.
When I ride a pet into that idea, I get an on-screen message like this and the pet freezes. I can't retreat either while mounted, it just locks the movement. I can dismount and the pet will follow me fine though.

So anyways it's obvious this was intended, but my question is... is this supposed to be tied into some specific Iria lore? The only thing I can see there are Cactus Lizards. I know they can be dangerous to new players (having passives and all), but having a specific event like that to make them more dangerous seems kinda'... random since they don't feature in like, anything else other than a hunting quest or two. What are they even guarding?

i think it has something to do with the monster title "the Unknown" for some reason pets dont like it...not sure how much is supposed to go with it if anything outside the pet thing...

I distinctively remember this back when Iria was released. These were the only monsters where you would have this event, and previously, the message that popped up was:
"(Your pet) is stalling the Cactus Lizard. Get to somewhere safe!"
or something along those lines. At that time, it was one of the first monsters with noticeable Heavy Stander, so players were freaking out about it.
It is unknown why specifically Cactus Lizards of THAT SPECIFIC COLOR (since other colored lizards do not trigger this message) causes this phenomenon. It's not the "unknown" title, since other monsters with this title are not affected (If I remember correctly). Nexon has not added any form of features regarding this for several years, and probably won't even in the future.
tl;dr, This was there ever since Iria was released, and was likely added just for the lawls and never really answered to
EDIT: I also remember a long time ago, the strongest monster in the game at that time, the Desert Dragon, spawned on top of that plateau. The Giant Sun event was also on top of the plateau, as well as FH Statues (which I think are still located in that area). Maybe these Lizards (hint hint) were the guardians of the Desert Dragon or at least warnings to what the players will face if they ignored said warning and continued to the plateau.
I'm shooting blindly with this theory, but it's plausible... ish?

Those lizards are supposed to be dangerous, especially when C2G4 was just released.

DD used to spawn on top of the plateau over there & those lizards were annoying to kill when they first released iria
