Rimush Ukatnuu - Giant Swamp Alligator
The Rimush Ukatnuu, the 15 feet long, scale armoured, 200-teeth stong alligator, is not the most savage inhabitant of the South Ridge Marches but it is by far the most dangerous - you cannot see it coming, you cannot hear it coming... and they travel in packs.
The Rimush Ukatnuu, is one of the most lethal and dangerous carnivorous apex predators in Thebia. It is know for the fact that despite of the fact that one of those creatures can easily take down any other creature in Thebia they tend to hunt in packs of five to seven alligators called "Venoms".
In most cases the Rimish Ukatnuu stay within the boundaries of the South Ridge Marches but when their population exceed a certain number they are know to travel northwards into the territories inhabited by the Nayan. When attacking north territories they destroy herds of animals and infect them with mutagenic bacteria living in their mouths causing cattle to go berserk and start biting othe cattle and humans
The Nayan hunters and particularly the Black Wolves of Naya regularly organize hunting parties that head into the March to control their population but also harvest their very valuable skin, which can be used the hardest lightweight armour, almost completely impervious to most slashing weapons. Nayan Hunters decorate their Battleform Armor and also commonly allowing a Rimush Ukatnuu to bite down on its arm in order to Proof it.

It's heavily armored thick and scaled skin is virtually impenetrable by most common slashing blades and it takes a significant amount of strength even for the sharper of spears to penetrate it.

Finaly, its four strong legs are used to "sprawl" and "high walk" in incredible speeds and explosive accelaration. each foot is armed with thick sharp claws that can evicerate most creatutes. The final weapon to this creatures arsnal is its tail. Strong and agile is able to whip enemies that date to approach from behind but more importantly it gives them incredible swimming speeds in the swamp and salt marshes they inhabit, allowing them to almost leap out of the water claws and teeth first to the unsuspected traveller.
