Kordor Lizard

These large reptiles are roughly the size of horses and used for much the same purpose in dryer regions of the world, especially in the Grand Wastes. They are believed to have been first domesticated by Serpentfolk during the First Age and bred in great numbers during their empire's glory days, but have since diminished greatly in number. Other reptilian species such as Lizardfolk have taken kindly to Kordors and thus have been found adapted to different climates, notably more swamp-like.   They can keep up a good speed for fair lengths of time, approximately half as long as a horse can, while their bodies made for storing and conserving energy they do not need to eat or drink for days on end, though being cold blooded they need time to sunbake or otherwise heat themselves up. On the flip side, they can survive extreme environments that would be the death of horses; most notably if they are frozen they resume life functions once thawed without issue.   Their bite can be considered toxic to non-reptilian creatures due to the infectious elements often living in their mouths, their claws are long and sharp, helping move through multiple types of terrain, and their tails are notably powerful, moving at great speeds to generate heat when needed with a movement akin to a rattle snake, but able to whip out offensively, generating large amount of force.   Many of these creatures can be found serving as pack mules for those living in and around the Grand Wastes, especially favoured by reptilian sapient species such as Lizardfolk and Kobolds. A number also use them for hunting and scavenging, and can sometimes be found with orc and elf Sandrunner tribes.
