Lithard

Lithards are a sapient species of dragon-like creatures which hail from Thak'r-Yon. When their homeworld was destroyed due to their sun going nova, the Lithards were saved by the Elder Gods, who relocated them to the extradimensional realm of Elysia.

Biology
Lithards are large, reptilian creatures with scaly iridescent green and golden skin, large black eyes, a serpentine neck, and leathery wings. They are born from oval eggs with blue and golden speckles, which are hatched in caves. Having evolved in a low-gravity world, they need to wear anti-gravity devices to be able to fly on Elysia.

Lithards speak with a lisp, pronouncing the "s" and "z" sounds as "th", which might be the source of their species' name (i.e. their pronunciation of the word "lizard").

Culture and society
The Lithards are benevolent creatures which serve the Elder Gods. Despite being sapient, the Lithards don't mind being used as mounts by other species.
