Animal

— Description: a large, winged reptile in Altuhamakatsy, belonging to the apex predator guild. Its body is covered in earth-red scales, fading to dark brown on the back and lighter orange-brown on the underside. It stands on two powerful hind legs and uses its broad leathery wings for flight. The head is large, equipped with a strong jaw, long fangs (D-8), and forward-facing eyes adapted for low-light hunting. A long, muscular tail aids in balance during flight and combat. Glowing orange-red patterns appear along its scales when channeling mana. Cannot be tamed, but can cooperate with Alrohal under certain conditions.

Juveniles (immature Öagol) total length 6–7 Lapréta (12–14 m), wingspan 4–5 Lapréta (8–10 m), scales D-4 to D-5. Newborns total length 1.25–1.5 Lapréta (2.5–3 m), scales D-1 to D-2.

— Speed: best flight speed 106 Vereda (cruising), 211 Vereda (diving); walking speed 21 Vereda. Juveniles fly at 50–70 Vereda.

— Tail whip force (adult): ~3,000 Gruiens (15,000 N).

— Scale hardness (Drasele's scale): back D-7, belly D-5, claws and fangs D-8.

— Gestation: 14 Marjet (~1.7 Earth years). Giving birth to 1–2 offspring per pregnancy.

— Age and maturation: average lifespan 800 Mragem (~784 Earth years). Full maturity at 50 Mragem (~49 Earth years). Sexual maturity at 40 Mragem (~39 Earth years).

— Diet: hypercarnivore. Prefers fresh meat.

— Habitat: open plains, mountain valleys, coastal cliffs. Avoids dense forests and Vïrka (polar region).

— Behavior: lives in packs of 80–120 individuals, led by three Alphas. Males patrol, females raise young, juveniles stay near nests. Highly territorial. Responds with coordinated aerial attacks.

— Magic: mana-based. Fireballs, thunderclaps, mana shield, haste, regeneration. Mana intensity scales with body size and blood volume.

— Sociality with Alrohal: cooperative only when mutual benefits exist (shared enemies, food supply). Cannot be domesticated. Respects strength and strategic intelligence.
