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.
