"At first, the object appeared to be little more than a large ball of scales that glinted with the same green as the light of the sphere. Then the ball unfurled, and a creature rose on four bent, lizard-like legs."
"Its narrow, tube-like body was as long as a man's, and its whip-like tail longer still. Atop a neck that stretched far upward, the creature's head was mostly snout. Needle-like fangs protruded when it opened its mouth. Lambent green eyes stared at the soldiers for a moment."
"Xbo knew what the creature was - a mpau, a seeker, a creation of the Erriten, with a sense of smell keener than that of any natural animal, and extraordinary tracking abilities."
Charles R. Saunders, Imaro IV: The Naama War
