Creature:Sathayr

Moderate-sized, heavy reptilian creatures which are covered with a thick layer of green to black scales. Males sport two short, sharp horns, although these are absent on females of the species, which are also slightly smaller. They are very susceptible to cold conditions; a few minutes in sub-zero temperatures can easily prove fatal to a sathayr. On the contrary, sathayrs' thick scales make them relatively resistant to ballistics, and they can often survive for several hours in highly radiated locations.

Sathayrs are a fairly recent addition to space. Many of them were forced to migrate from their homeworld of Abadosia (Abythysa in Sathayryn language) after a volcanic winter rendered all but the equatorial regions uninhabitable.
