Zhato

Zhato
Description:	Darju-named critter. Cross between an earth weasel and lizard. It has a long fur covered body, with a long scaled tail that fires fine needle spikes that are covered in poison. The like to eat Moglu and use the spikes to kill them, the spikes are also used for protection, they will use if attacked, but the larger an animal the less effect the poison will take. Zhato grow to two and a half feet long and nine inches high, they can have lavender fur with pale pink scale tail, jet black fur with silver scale tail, russet brown fur with rose pink scale tail or sandy brown with lilac scale tail.
Uses:	Tameable (the zhato will not fire the spikes when tamed unless they are a hunting pet and the owner requires them to attack something). Skinning (pelts weigh around 10-23 ounces depending on size of critter) Meat can be eaten, tastes nice honey roasted, or char-grilled. Spikes could be collected and used as weapons (attached to arrows/bolts or used in blowpipes.)
Habitat:	Found anywhere they can get to, prefer human settled areas.
