RiverTomanths

The most common of the tomanths are the river-born. They appear somewhat akin to bipedal alligators, with longer and heavier limbs, shorter snouts, and independently swiveling eye turrets (and nictating membranes that protect their eyes). Their teeth are more akin to sharks', with multiple rows of rapidly-replacing teeth -- many of which can break off in a wound and paralyze or kill it. Their coloration ranges from dark green to dark yellow and even brown. They average three-and-a-half feet in height, and are usually five-and-a-half to six feet long. Because of their long claws and short fingers, they have trouble wielding large objects in one hand. Of all the tomanths, river tomanths are the smallest and the lightest.

River tomanths tend to be found in the jungles of Halganath, and on its western end, a nation known as Rakore. They are also found in the Banoc Forests of Western Baroneth, known as Banoc Bae. Tomanths are an indigenous species on Gaeleth.
