The Behir
A behir is a formidable creature often mistaken for a wingless blue dragon. It boasts a long, snake-like body that can slither on the ground or climb using its six pairs of legs. Each of its twelve feet contains three clawed toes1. Here are some key details about behirs:
Appearance:
Size: An adult behir typically reaches around 40 feet (12 meters) in length and weighs about 4,000 pounds (1,800 kilograms).
Skin Color: Behirs have thick, armored scales that come in variations of deep blue to ultramarine, with gray-brown bands. Their undersides are lighter in color1.
Head: Their long, narrow heads resemble those of crocodiles, featuring curved black horns used for preening1.
Teeth: Behirs have many sharp, multi-colored translucent teeth, valued for their gem-like beauty1.
Growth: They begin life with six or eight legs and grow additional legs as they age, adding about 8 feet (2.4 meters) per year1.
Abilities:
Electrical Breath: Like blue dragons, behirs can breathe a magical burst of electricity from their mouths. They are completely immune to damage from electricity themselves.
Climbing: Behirs are expert climbers and surprisingly quick, capable of outrunning humans12.
Fun Fact:
The height of Mount Everest (the world’s highest peak) is approximately 29,031 feet. If we whimsically compare it to bananas (assuming an average banana length of 7.5 inches), Mount Everest’s height would be equivalent to roughly 46,449 bananas stacked on top of one another! 🍌🏔️12.
Behirs are fascinating creatures, blending serpentine grace with fearsome power. Their electrical breath and unique appearance make them a memorable addition to any fantasy world. 🐉⚡
