Dryzams are a non-sapient species of omnivorous quadrupeds from Alaspin, which form symbiotic associations with the planet's empathic Minidrags.
Biology[]
Dryzams are 10 meter long creatures covered in green and yellow scales. They have a long snout like an anteater, five tiny eyes, and a pair of dorsal sails which help to regulate their body temperature. Their diet is omnivorous, and they can survive weeks without water. They are viviparous and can give birth to litters of eight.
Cultural significance[]
Dryzams are employed as beasts of burden on many worlds and are renowned as loyal animals.
