Kajhars are large reptilian predators that hunt in packs typically consisting of no more than five members. When the kajhar's mighty jaws clamp down on its prey, it drags its target to the ground where it can easily be finished off with a strike from its claws. The pack then swarms around the fallen and devours it, picking the carcass clean before moving on. Kajhars are native to deserts, but they can survive almost anywhere prey and heat are plentiful, from steaming jungles to underground lava tubes. Some creatures have even trained kajhars to serve as mounts or guard or hunting beasts.
