Rovarskan Dragon (animal)

Rovarskan dragons are large, land-based reptiles similar in size to the crocodile, that live throughout the Pirate Coast. They are well known for their size and ferocity, as well as their highly toxic venom. It is said that even if you survive being bitten by one, you will still most likely suffer and die to the toxins lurking within the lizard's saliva. Rovarskan dragons are apex hunters, known for hunting almost everything that lives in the Rovarskan archipelago. Some stories even tell of the beasts digging up graves when food was scarce. Most rovarskan dragons are solitary in their daily life, often only coming together during the mating season or during child rearing, though it is not uncommon to see two travelling or living together.

Just beyond the dense underbrush that we lay crouched in, the rovarskan dragon gnaws at the decaying remains of our bait. We've kept still most of the day waiting for one of these beasts to track down the bait's scent, and luck seemed on our side. Despite its short legs, the dragon is imposing. I can see its muscles bend and contract beneath the scales as the beast utterly destroys the corpse before it. It will finish its meal before we have time to act if we do not do so quickly.
