These warm-blooded reptile carry a resemblance of a preditary salamander due to their lack of scales and pigment. Though they're blind without eyes they instead have large sensary organs that are sensitive to heat, this allows them to see in infrared. Being subterranean and nocturnal hunters a Houzer's other senses have risen to a level few can rival, equipped with echo location, powerful sense of smell, infrared, and a specialized organ along their jaw that detects pressure deferences in the air allowing them to "see" movement they are near impossible to surprise or out track. The only thing to rival their senses is their intelligence, capable of understanding multiple languages and mimicking the communication patterns of other creatures they can fool their prey with false mating calls, sounding like an hurt animal to attract other predators or even mimicking ground birds to hide their location. primarily ambush predators they hunt alone but commonly share dens with each other and will work together to kill off trespassers. As solitary hunters surrounded by rival beasts and large prey they have bodies to match, armed with a maw of teeth similar to a K-9 and razor sharp claws they can pin down large horses and similarly sized creatures. With the bite strength to crush a man's head helm included and claws that tear through armor few can rival these powerful beasts.
