Lótas

Lótas¹ are the largest species of Tóvenkaras, marine reptiles found in Ahix Sea.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Like other tóvenkaras, lótas are warm-blooded, have beak-like mouths and two sets of fins, but are distinguished by having teeth and lacking a tail fin. The teeth allow them to catch giant squids and octopuses more easily.
Like other large tóvenkaras, lótas have a dewlap of sorts on their chin.

Additional Information

Uses, Products & Exploitation

While Ameders inhabiting the coast of Ahix Sea hunt nólas for their meat, ambergris and bones, they do so much less frequently due to their size, specialized equipment and long time required for that task, and are more likely to harvest any dead lótas that wash up on the shore.
