Noted for both their beauty and rarity, Death’s Sea espagra are found
only in the mountains and areas immediately surrounding Death’s Sea and
the Scarlet Sea. They roost in loose communities, living in the cliffs and crags
of those regions, where they continually fight and squabble over dominance.
To call these creatures simply “aggressive” is an understatement. Not only do
they relentlessly attack anything that enters their perceived territory, groups
of Death’s Sea espagra are known to become combative outside their territory
against opponents they have no interest in eating. It seems these creatures
engage in such fights for the sheer thrill of it, a behavior that causes no end of
trouble for fire miners. The greater effect is most inhabitants of Death’s Sea
give these psychopaths a wide berth, lest they attract unwanted attention.
Their scales are brilliant red on top of their body and gleaming silver
underneath. Long spines stretch from their wings, back, limbs, and tail, which
seem to collect, concentrate, and dissipate the heat they absorb. The unique
coloration and rarity of their scales makes them highly prized for many
purposes.
Death’s Sea espagra are suitable as animal companions.
