Rhizan

Rhizan were squirrel-sized winged reptiles that were very common on the Seven Cities continent. The term 'rhizan' came from the Seven Cities (Bisbrha and Debrahl) language.Deadhouse Gates, Glossary, UK MMPB p.936 Their wings were retractable and their skin was mottled with ochre colouring.House of Chains, Chapter 10, US SFBC p.404
Mainly active at night, they were insectivores who fed on Capemoths and Bloodflies.Deadhouse Gates, Chapter 1, US HC p.35Deadhouse Gates, Chapter 3, US HC p.92The Bonehunters, Glossary They in turn were preyed upon by Bhok'arala.Deadhouse Gates, Chapter 2, US HC p.77 During the day, they huddled in groups clinging to shaded surfaces.
It seemed likely that they were the same creatures as the rhinazan found in the wildlands of eastern Lether. These weasel-sized flying lizards ate flying insects, termites, and ticks with their serrated jaws.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 2, US HC p.69Reaper's Gale, GlossaryReaper's Gale, Chapter 9, Epigraph
