About
- Common Names
- Olirurear - Seahunter (Waejir)
- Classification
- Reptile
- Olirurear are large marine reptile apex predators found throughout the oceans and seas of Entorais.
Description
- Size
- Adults of the largest species can be up to 27,250 kg (30 tons) and measure 16 m (53 feet) length.
- Appearance
- Olirurear have large heads with massive jaws filled with pointed teeth, their bodies are long and wide with a four large paddle like flippers and a pair of ingrown vestigial legs ending in webbed feet. some species have a distinct tail that extends beyond their hind feet. They swim with a undulating motion.
- Sexual Dimorphism
- Some species have size differences between the sexes, but which is larger varies with species.
- Variance
- Many sub-species of Olirurear exist with differences in hunting strategies, social groupings, and body morphology.
Ecology
- Habitat
- Tropical through Arctic Salt and Freshwater.
- Diet
- Prey type varies with species. Aquatic and amphibious mammals, reptiles, birds, and fish. Some Olirurear will hunt other large marine creatures such as shaloki, leviathans, or even other olirurear.
Behaviour
- Social Grouping
- Solitary, with some schooling behaviour around productive food sources. A few species form pods which coordinate hunting behaviours.
- Temperament
- Generally wary. Can become aggressive if threatened or while hunting food.
- Intelligence
- Cunning animals
- Reproduction
- Predominantly egg laying, producing up to a dozen eggs which hatch in shallow waters. Young are left to survive on their own without any nurturing from parents. A few species have evolved to live birth, essentially hatching their eggs internally before laying pups.
- Ranging
- Olirurear will range over a variety of marine areas following food sources, and moving between open waters and reefs. They are neither territorial nor seasonally migratory.
Notable Sub-Species
Domestication
- General
- No effort to domesticate such creatures exists, although some smaller varieties are non-threatening to treahni.
- Resources
- Meat, Oils, Hides, Teeth.
