Description

The Pleskana is a large reptilian sea creature of Anthos. It lives off of the east coast of the mainland, near the Human lands and close to the shores of Yamamoto and across Furnestock. It was discovered by fishermen applying their trade across the shoreline of Yamamoto and Shattenburg. They have the body of what could be seen as a large turtle without a shell complete with four flippers and a tail not to discount their large neck. Their scales are usually a shade of blue and are usually patterned to act either as camouflage or to attract a mate for the male Pleskana.

They feed on a diet of fish and sharks, usually animals slower than themselves, as well as pebbles to help grind down food in their digestive system. The size of the Pleskana varies, at birth they can be from 2-2.5 metres long from neck to tail, but as they grow to an adult they range between 10–15 metres from neck to tail. Their behaviour is varied around sentient races, they have the ability to sense when a creature has ill intentions for them and become violent when danger is sensed. If they are not inside the ocean their attacks are slow and quite limited, however in the ocean they are at their most dangerous. They are docile when they don’t sense hostility and they tolerate the presence of other creatures near them as long as they keep a distance and don’t attack. While out of the water their scales hardens to protect them as their offensive capabilities while on land are severely limited, their scales hardens enough to keep them unharmed from arrow shots depending on where their hit but crossbows and spears can pierce their skin when enough force is applied. When a Pleskana bites down onto prey the teeth sink into its prey, the Pleskana having a huge bite force enough to crush most bones in a Human body given the right amount of force. They are also incredibly hard to shake off as they have very strong jaws suited to stopping fast and large prey.

Taming

The Pleskana cannot be tamed or domesticated. They will resist any attempts of capture and if in captivity they will die after a few days due their in adaptability to survive enclosed environments.

Breeding

The Pleskana have a mating season once a year during springtime, males scales change in patterns to attempt to impress females, after the males have done the deed the female Pleskana will have a pregnancy that will last six months before a calf is born. Oddly, the Pleskana doesn't lay eggs like other reptilians, instead they give birth to their calf like a whale or a dolphin would.

Lifespan

The average male Pleskana will live for thirty to thirty-five years while in the wild and the average female Pleskana will live for forty to forty-five years. https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/90426-event-creature-pleskana/
