Daedal Lizards. Sentient but not sapient, they are the size of bobcats, with the intelligence of dogs. While lizard is in their name, this species is not related to lizards at all, instead evolving from an early species of six-finned proto-fish, their middle pair of fins evolving into large wings. Daedal Lizards cannot fly with these wings, but can glide from treetops. males have rich crimson, navy, umber and cinnamon wings, tailblades and throats, while females, and the rest of the males' bodies, are generally more drab greys, browns, and blacks.
Males are extremely competitive, especially during the mating season. They inflate their brightly coloured chests like bullfrogs, flapping their wings, rearing up and bellowing to attract females. When two males cross paths, they will engage in brutal battle, swinging their tails into each other's wings, necks and faces. The female will choose the loudest, most brightly coloured male to mate with, and lays many leathery-shelled eggs, which both the male and female protect until the hatchlings enter adolescence.
