Name: Davinn Lizards

Species: Reptile

Habitat: The Highlands and Valley of the Sanguine Desert.

Locomotion: Quadruped

Coloring: From a rust to burgundy red, often with long, horizontal black markings. Davinn without markings, or "Davinn Ardunus" are the preferred mounts of Dalam Sarayn's Nightmare soldiers.

Size: Typically measuring at two meters in length, or six and a half feet long, and one and a half meters tall (4.9 feet), the Davinn Lizard, also known as the Sand Dragon, is a large and surprisingly agile creature.

Speed: A fit and fully armored Davinn can traverse an area of about thirty kilometers, or about eighteen and a half miles in the span of an hour. Without mount or armor, it is estimated the the Davinn can reach speeds of forty-five kilometers, or nearly twenty-eight miles in the span of an hour.

Description: A thick scaled hide coupled with speed, agility and intelligence enough to recognize and count up to three potential threats at any given time, make a well trained Davinn the preferred mount in the Sanguine Desert. A versatile and robust species, these carnivorous reptiles can adapt easily to most environments, except for the extreme cold. While quadrupedal in nature, the Davinn is capable of rearing and swiping it's clawed forelegs, as well as it's tail in defense.

The Davinn Ardunus, once trained, are often fitted for a special armor, made from the Phraktos T'puuli alloy, that not only serves as defense, but as an additional weapon. A special chain-mail weave is reinforced with outer plate-mail of the same alloy and formed to protect and accentuate the Davinn's body, while allowing for maximum mobility. The fore-claws are armored, with a longer, curved set of metal claws that are sharpened to a blade edge, while the tail is fitted with a large spiked hammer.
