Yrthak

Yrthaks

Ecology
Yrthaks were also found in the wildernesses of the Middledark and Lowerdark.

Uses
Gulgars used yrthaks as mounts and beasts of burden. Particularly adept Zhentarim skymages were sometimes mounted on yrthaks, as well.

History
Shortly after the gulgars fled a genie incursion into their territory on the Elemental Plane of Earth for the Prime Material and settled in the Ramparts of Night, they started exploiting the native yrthaks' susceptibility to their sonic attacks in order to shape them into more domestic creatures.

In, while en route from Gracklstugh to Menzoberranzan, a duergar army led by Horgar Steelshadow IV and Nimor Imphraezl lost 5 soldiers and a pack lizard to an attack by a flight of ythraks.

In Alturiak of the next year, in the Land of Stormweather, three yrthaks hidden on the forested back of a skwalos ambushed the Sorcerer as he attempted to drag the great animal down to Castle Stormweather in order to flense and butcher it.

Notable Yrthaks
A clutch of yrthaks lived in a cavern about away from the Wailing Cliff, subsisting off of the cohabitating deep rothé. By, the mated pair and their young adult twin offspring had overhunted the rothé, so their primary food source was dwindling.

As of, the beholder cult in the Temple in the Sky kept 4 yrthaks in their stables.
