Scalolyro

Scalolyro

Aspect: Beast · Nation: Theolis

Overview

Scalolyro can be somewhat ill-tempered, despite their whimsical appearances. They are easily startled and have been known to lash out, flinging needle-like projectiles from their tails or blowing out gusts of wind. Though they are terrestrial, they seem to enjoy soaking in streams and shallow ponds, sometimes only submerging their heads below the surface. Many have said they respond well to music and traveling bards have noted wild Scalolyro being drawn to their songs.

Habitat

Lowlands and streams.
