Lirr

''You see a large, reptilian creature the size of a lion. It has dark gray scaled skin, with a bright web-like membrane around its neck and a brightly colored tail.''

Combat
Lirrs usually start combat by attempting to stun their opponents, then grabbing and raking them with their powerful claws.

Description
Lirrs are reptilian predators that hunt in packs. They are fast and fierce and possess a powerful roar that has the ability to stun their prey. The colored membrane around the lirr‘s neck can be inflated and flushed with blood to communicate with others of the species in a number of ways.

Lirr packs are exceptionally quarrelsome, and particularly intelligent quarry might be able to escape one pack by leading pursuers into the lair of another. Lirrs pair off to mate, but such pairings are loose and will separate if resources becomes scarce. A female lirr produces 2-8 eggs every two years, which hatch in three months, with the young maturing in nine months. Though only the birth mother is concerned for her eggs, any female will protect the pack's young once they have hatched.

Some lirr packs seem to prefer the rockier terrain of the mountain ranges, finding comfort in the cooler cave temperatures. Mountain lirrs are identical to their desert dwelling cousins, save for the fact that they lack the lirr's characteristically bright colors on their ringed membrane. A lirr typically weighs 300 pounds and is six feet long from tip to tail.
