Ygma (Ig-mah)
Ygma are medium-sized pteranodons that can be trained to carry riders and goods. These creatures have to be trained from hatchlings to respect their riders, lest they throw their masters off miles in the air.
Ygma are larger than pteranodons, but smaller than quetzalcoatli, making them perfect mounts for Medium sized creatures. Typically, ygma are raised from hatching to bear riders, and breeders will pay good money (~50 gp) for ygma eggs, with full grown ygma going for upwards of 200 gold each.
Basic Information
Genetics and Reproduction
Ygma are solitary creatures outside of mating seasons, when they come back to roost and find mates in large colonies. Ygma make nests and lay eggs in shelters inlets in the rock, out of the sun and the wind. They feed their young until they can fly and hunt on their own, which usually takes about 3 months.
