Ano

While the underground cave in the middle of the lair seems dangerous, the rivers leading to and from it are what you need to avoid. While they may appear to be a great shortcut to dragons skilled in swimming, they are truly nothing more than a trap for Ano. The strange beasts origins are unknown as he barely speaks and is only really ever seen when attacking. Due to his mirror resemblance, some have come to believe that he either is, or at least used to be a dragon.

His upper half is the most mirror shaped, with simply some extra, more aquatic fins. His lower half however, is far different. He has no hind legs, simply a strong powerful tail with a large tailfin, similar in shape to that of a thresher shark. While he has wings that could lift him into the sky, their main purpose is to help propel him through the rivers. It is unlikely he knows how to fly regardless as he cant breath air and can only survive out of the water for a short amount of time. Covering his body are patches of bioluminescent scales. While this may seem like it would give him away, the amount of glow worms and other glowing creatures and plants inhabiting the caves make Ano blend in rather well.

Ano is most active during storms when the rivers swell and animals, dragons included, seek shelter in the caves. If one is to be caught in the water with him, their life will soon be over. That is unless they can manage to get to the central lake, as Litanu and Bakunawa seem to be some of the few things Ano is sure to avoid. Alocer is also able to keep Ano at bay.
