Ejderha

Name: Ejderha 
Homeworld: Chintamani, moon of Yeouiju
Notes: A carnivorous species of arboreal reptiles, the Ejderha evolved on Chintamani predating on the ancestors of the Azul species. Their long, serpentine bodies allows them to coil around and otherwise maneuver through the Class L moon's forests as they hunted for their small prey. Their strong, snake-like bodies allowed them to attack from any angle and, when the ancestors of the Azul added flight to their arsenals, allowed the Ejderha to reach up to the upper most levels of the trees in pursuit.
It was the optimized body design of the evolving ancestors of the Ejderha that made them one of the top predators of Chintamani. Only because they are incapable of flight and designed for their life amidst the trees, they have to share this with the aerial predators that were the ancestors of the Zilant.
Modern Ejderha still eat meat, but usually partake of farmed meat. However, as a species, the majority of Ejderha are an exception to the local rule and normally prefer isolation from everyone else, only interacting with them when necessary. As such, those who live near an Ejderha colony have long figured out to leave them alone or risk bodily injury if not wearing proper protection.
