Krakogn

The krakogn is native to the huge swamps in the north, these reptilian beasts are very robust yet mostly harmless. They live wild in the swamps and mostly eat swamp plants and small creatures. The Lizardfolk in these swamps use them as beasts of burden and as food once they have outlived their purpose.
