Notes | Anaxial Annex. These great reptiles have a lizard-like body around ten feet in length, and prowl the lowlands of Slon, where they consume smaller reptiles and other prey. They most distinguishing feature is the great sail-like fin on their backs, which is a dull red in colour. Sailbacks are slow and sluggish through the night, and only become active after dawn. Each morning they spend an hour basking in the sun, much like other lizards, before crawling about in search of food. They are surprisingly fast moving for their size, which gives them an advantage while hunting.
Unlike many similar creatures, there is no association between sailbacks and dragonewts. Instead, they are lizards whose first spirit ancestors chose to worship the Sun in return for a greatly increased size, and rulership over smaller reptiles. |
