Ceicca (SAY-kuh)

Ceiccas are hyena-like four-legged, large animals occasionally used as single-person mounts. They are known for their restlessness and tendency toward violence and scavenging and as such, tend to be utilized where this isn't a concern or as an intimidation factor; they require a tight rein, constant discipline, and an invested trainer who can provide both to make them worthwhile.
They are native to Balaqalneyis, particularly its northern and easternmost rocky reaches, but can occasionally be found in northern Seyis-Gol.
