Loggerhead Skink

A species of dog-sized predatory reptile found in forests throughout Meropis and Western Thule, the Loggerhead Skink gets its name from the dense protective scales, resembling tree bark, that cover its dorsal surface. Possessing a number of defense mechanisms, from a vivid blue tongue used to frighten attackers to its camouflaged, pangolin-like scales to its powerful tail and fierce bite to the vile taste of its blood, the creature is a rare case of a modern species that evolved due to exposure to Primeval Mana and was able to retain its changes beyond the borders of the same. Known for being partially arboreal, these formidable creatures are ambush predators that pass themselves as logs or unusual growths on trees, dropping or lunging at prey that draws near. Territorial, they aggressively challenge others of their own kind that attempt to use the same ambush spots and may well chase each other over long distances to secure their hunting grounds. Despite their size and demeanor, and vile taste, these creatures are sometimes preyed upon by larger carnivores within Primeval spaces.
