Qurot (Kuhr-OTT)

Qurots, also known as chainwalkers, are an amphibious reptile unique to the southern reaches of the Tubisqu, Hooth's, the Acheche, the Sebat, and the Laqalney Rivers. It is uncertain why this does not extend to the Raarq River, since it is on the same longitude. 
They are so called because of their tendency to form chains when they move from spot to spot by gently holding onto each other's tails, which is also not fully understood.
