The sarlang is a large 4-ton swamp lizard. This massively built reptilian quadruped is covered with heavy scales and has a short, thick tail. The creature has large paddle-like feet allow it to swim or scramble through water, thick marshy grasses and soft ground. It uses its tail to propel itself though water and grasses. The sarlang is immensely strong and a powerful swimmer. It has a very distinctive low rumbling growl. From the tip of its snout to the end of its tail, a sarlang measures 20 feet.
Generally, the sarlang is not aggressive. It is a docile herbivore of the swamps and marshlands. If cornered or threatened, it will bite and strike with sweeps of its tail. The sarlang generally flees combat. If used as a steed, it can be trained to hold its ground.
Sarlangs can be found in wetlands and marshes throughout Qeshir and Aggradar. It is most common in the Darijun Jungle and the Aswanar Wildlands. A larger variety dwells in the Kalanos Marshes.
The sarlong is used by the boglings and other races as a swamp steed. The meat of the sarlang is edible and tasty, although somewhat oily.
