Salanjur

Salanjurs are massive semi-aquatic snakelike reptiles that inhabit the the underworld.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Salanjur are have long serpentine bodies, with 4 small legs that help propel them forward, however they mostly slither to move. They have fins on their tails to swim. Their heads are wide and long, filled with sharp, needle-like teeth. They have fins running along the top of their head, along their back, and to the end of the tail.

Biological Traits

Salanjur have a very low metabolism, and can go for months without a large meal. They also do not die of old age, instead they just grow bigger the older they get.

Ecology and Habitats

Salanjur live mostly in dark and wet caves, in the chamber section of the underworld, and eat anything that enters their areas. They move by sliding and slithering through tunnels and pulling themselves around with their 4 small, but useful legs. They also often live in the upper tunnels of the underworld, and they sometimes come up to the surface and find dark canyons or ruins to live in. Salanjur can be found all around the world, mostly underground however.

Additional Information

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

Salanjurs have lost their sight due to living in dark caves for so long, but they are able to detect even the slightest vibrations on the ground, and they have excellent hearing and smelling abilities, which all more than make up for it's lack of sight.

Average Length

250 feet (76.2 meters), although they get larger the older they get, and can potentially grow much larger.

Body Tint, Colouring and Marking

They have dark grey turquoise scales.
