Relatives of Plesiosaurus and Icthyosaurus, these dinosaurs lurk in the waters of ‘lost world’ areas looking for fish to eat. However, they also enjoy tasty humanoid, human, and demi-human swimmers and may even sink small boats to get some food. They especially infest the waterways of the Azcan lands, and are sometimes attacked by the Azcan military if they cause trouble.
