Thornscales

The Thornscale is a species of large lizard, on average of 3 meters long, that is found in the swamplands and jungles of Oryndiil. The lizards are known for their aggression, as well as their lethally venomous saliva, which ensures bites are almost always fatal. Modern medical advances have increased the chance of surviving a Thornscale bite, but only in more advanced nations such as the Casorian Empire, Nientay, and Shanaei/Belaxtra. 
The lizards are known maneaters, and their reputation for hunting people is well-deserved. Thornscales have appeared in Oryndiili culture for millenia, mostly as evil spirits, who only wish to kill. 
Thornscales are hunted for their leather, which is known to be of high quality, tough, and beautifully coloured; a dark, polished black. Thornscale leather is part of the uniforms for the armies of nations all across Oryndiil
