Desman

The desman is a very rare creature and restricted to the Dyr Erib area. It measures 18 to 24 (including its tail and prehensile snout) and resembles a large vole or mole. Its teeth carry a vicious venom (desman venom) inducing spasmodic relaxing and tightening of the muscles in the walls of blood vessels. The desman lives in streams and marshes and is a blackish-brown in color. Its poison is particularly fatal to the huge caru, whose rotten flesh the desmans love.
