Peakeater

Also known as Sigzlorian land dragons, peakeaters are a massive reptilian species native to the mountains of Mikhnu, said in legend to feast upon mountaintops in vain hope of devouring the only thing larger than they. They closely resemble dragons, walking on four limbs and having a pair of vibrantly colored wings, though they are much too heavy to fly. Their wings are mostly used in territorial displays and courtship rituals, and they get especially fierce during summers where they come down from the mountains to hunt for their newly-hatched young.
Peakeaters are altogether rather dim-witted; even if local stories and myths accentuate their intelligence, they are still extremely dangerous to any who cross their paths. Their enormous sizes -- with older ones sometimes reaching even over thirty to forty feet in height -- make them popular targets for would-be monster hunters or people seeking a glorious hunt of some kind. Some have claimed that ancient peakeaters can exceed fifty feet in height, but no specimens of this size have ever been recorded.
