Nïdwhal

Nïdwhalar were enormous sea serpents that were cousins to both the Fanghur and dragons, and were found in the deep reaches of the ocean to the west of Alagaësia. A Nïdwhal resembled a large, rippling snake with a pair of bony crest over its eyes that each featured a ropy tendril that extended from it. The head of a Nïdwhal was long and angular, and they possessed a pair of oar-shaped flippers on either side of their chests. Nïdwhalar were capable of leaping out of the water to attack their prey, and fed on both dragons and their own kind. Each Nïdwhal possessed a gemlike structure similar to an Eldunarí in their chests, which was believed to allow them to stay deep underwater for extended periods of time.
