It may not look all that weird, but squirting blood out of it's eyes as a defense mechanism is certainly strange.
Properly called a horned lizard, they're also known as horned frogs or horney toads, and their numbers are dwindling, thanks to the introduction of Fire Ants and subsequent downfall of native red ants.

Don't know what a Hoya is, but I think it's short for Hoya Saxa, some Greek or Latin phrase, at leat I've seen buttons and Tshirts there that say that, and that was the best explanation I got.
My vote is for the Austin College kangaroos
