Description:
In general shape, this creature resembles a six-limbed canine -- but the resemblence ends there. Its body is covered with armored plates of chitin and four of its limbs are like long, razor-sharp scythes. It holds two smaller claws close to its body. Its head combines the facial features of a predatory reptile with large, serrated mandibles. Large armored plates protect its neck and back. Small, veined wings like those of a dragonfly sprout from behind the plates.
Hatchling Kruthiks are anything but helpless larvae. They are small and wiry, about 4 feet long and weighing about 30 lbs. Hatchlings make excellent use of their speed and agility in combat, encircling prey and outrunning any serious threats.
