-Often called the Lorath dragon, the Meruu is a hot-blooded giant reptile of the Krua family, resembling a cross between an alligator and a giant python, depending on the extension of their body. They earn their nickname due to their intimidating appearance with large golden human-like eyes, swept back horns and a mixture of scales and fur depending on the environment they've chosen to settle in. Their wings are repurposed into a second pair of front legs: both with simple grasping hands similar to those of a rat though obviously much larger. They are known for living in a vast array of environments: Sweeping across sand like a snake, swimming through water, climbing trees and hiding beneath the ground.+Often called the [[:lorath_matriarchy|Lorath]] dragon, the Meruu is a hot-blooded giant reptile of the Krua family, resembling a cross between an alligator and a giant python, depending on the extension of their body.

 Largely solitary, they were hunted close to extinction due to their venom (an ethanol/decoagulant mixture) often irradiating due to the Meruu's habit of digging up radioactive ores and magnetites which become deposits in their horns as advanced sensing organs  Largely solitary, they were hunted close to extinction due to their venom (an ethanol/decoagulant mixture) often irradiating due to the Meruu's habit of digging up radioactive ores and magnetites which become deposits in their horns as advanced sensing organs

 Meruu are unusual in that the anal cavity of the animal extends into the tail somewhat; this is used with the collection of smooth rocks and pebbles which act as ballast, either in flight or when swimming, to travel to great depths. Meruu are unusual in that the anal cavity of the animal extends into the tail somewhat; this is used with the collection of smooth rocks and pebbles which act as ballast, either in flight or when swimming, to travel to great depths.
  
-They are known to produce entirely sterile fecal matter which is sterilized inside the body with no smell, usually in a thick syrupy slippery clear form resembling saliva or as solid white highly compact eggs. Smelling strongly of pheremones, it is often used to mark their territory. In the wild, this waste product is often radiologically active.+They are known to produce entirely sterile fecal matter which is sterilized inside the body with no smell, usually in a thick syrupy slippery clear form resembling egg whites and yellows or as solid white highly compact eggs.
