Please enter a description:<img src=gallery/shriken.gif align=right> Also known as a "sand-shark", this creature is only known to be found in the Sea of Sand in the Himaat, and is believed to be a nasty "cousin" of the less-feared Gooshurm. Shrikens have some slight resemblance to Gooshurms, appearing to be large, segmented, worm-like or serpentine creatures, but their segments appear to be bony, each segment having three bony fins that radiate outward. The head consists of three bony jaws, with no visible eyes, and the mouth contains three flexible tongues which are barbed and secrete a paralyzing toxin. <p> Shrikens rarely live to grow to full adult size, typically found at no greater than a few feet in length, but there are legends of gigantic shrikens capable of smashing sand-triremes or swallowing victims whole. Some credence is lent to these legends in that the sand-faring Nohbakim often use very large bony structures for the supports for their sand-triremes ...which would tend to suggest the existence of suitably large creatures to provide the skeletons from which these structures are made!
