Creature:Gairron

Big scaly bullies. Intelligent, but not sentient. Their diet entirely consists of meat. Rarely found in packs, unless they're mates, as the males will constantly be snarling and fighting each-other. They don't need to be desperate to resort to cannibalism. They often hunt prey near the same size of themselves, if not larger. They can usually take them down solo, lessening the need of a pack at all. Provoking them would not be the best decision, as they are already quite aggressive, with a strong bite and infectious saliva. Although they are able to, seeing a Gairron that has reached 70 years of age and is still living is a rare sight. They're out of their prime, weak, frail. Unable to even hunt anymore, bound to either get eaten away by younger Gairron, or starving to death. When it is mating season, the males have to set up a territory and fend other males away. The male with the most scars and the biggest territory will win a mate. They birth through eggs, and their offspring typically enter the world with fear and a sudden need to run. Their parents will most certainly have gone cannibalistic by then due to hunger, and they certainly won't be offering mercy.
