Details:

Their name in common is literally translated to "snake beast." These creatures are native to the Makubwa Lori and have a small population the creatures are solitary and very territorial. They tend to come in shades of green and brown as well as the rare blue. The creatures have thick skin which is incredibly difficult to pierce and, therefore, difficult to hunt and kill. Due to the rarity of their useful parts (teeth, skin, claws and poison) there are no set prices and costs are up to the individual retailer. These creatures are incredibly dangerous and many will keep as far away from them as possible. The only real reasons these creatures would be hunted would for city security or if somebody required the specific items and could afford to supply a hunting party.

Lifespan and Development:

The Uwär Bysez can live up to approximately 140 arcs. The creature reaches maturity at 40 arcs. At around 20 arcs the creature will have also gained the ability to spit poison and by 30 arcs the creature's claws excrete poison.

Diet:

The Uwär Bysez is omnivorous. It will eat plants when necessary but it prefers to eat meat. The creature will attack and hunt nearly all other creatures with few being bigger than it in the forest. They are highly territorial and may occasionally kill without the intent to eat if their den is threatened. Although they are of basic sentience, they are highly aware their skin is impenetrable to many weapons, which can make them extremely dangerous.

=Temperament:= The Uwär Bysez are aggressive and territorial. They each have an area in the forest that they consider theirs. Many of them will make sure not to invade another Uwär Bysez's territory as a battle between two of these creatures is often fatal for both participants.

Abilities:

Poison bite: The bite of the Uwär Bysez is incredibly dangerous to anyone who experiences it. The poison that is produced is a neurotoxin which acts quickly to numb the entire area of the bite. It spreads quickly and if not treated the neurotoxin will eventually cause a shutdown the body. This complete shutdown can take a few trials as it varies based on size of the offending beast. If not treated, the victim is guaranteed to die.

Poison spit: The creature can spit poison at its prey or attacker and cause blindness if it goes in the eyes. The effects of the poison act differently in comparison to injection into the bloodstream and will not result in complete nervous system failure.

Poison claws: The effects of this are directly the same as that of the poison bite except there is an 8% chance that the poison will not make its way into the bloodstream.

Weaknesses:

The Uwär Bysez are weaker in the cold seasons. They hibernate during the last 33 trials of Zi'da and throughout Cylus and early Ashan. During this time they can be easily ambushed. Heated weapons (meaning they are glowing from the heat) have a higher chance of piercing their thick skin.
