Gorglython

Aspect: Geo · Nation: Theolis

Overview

Gorglython are a reclusively timid Chronikin, found slithering around rock quarries and caves. They tend to avoid confrontation and would sooner flee than fight. If cornered however, they can emit a noxious odor and their clubbed tails can deliver a nasty blow. Some researchers say that a Gorglython can smell the exact mineral makeup of rocks and uses this ability to find its favored quarry. Many miners will use Gorglython to find specific mineral outcrops and assist in daily operations.

Habitat

craggy ravines, mountain caves, quarries
