The lirr is a large, warm-blooded reptile that vaguely
resembles a lion in body form and hunting tactics. It
possesses wispy plumage that it uses for silent
communication. The lirr has a long, sleek, body and its scales
are small and fine, almost like those of a snake. Around its
neck and at the end of its tail sit rings of a weblike
membrane.
Filled with small nodules that glow brilliant red, yellow, and
orange, these frills normally lie flat against the creature's
scales. When prey is sighted, however, the membrane fills
with air, lighting up to alert other lirr that quarry is nearby.
The lirr's four muscular legs grant a powerful spring, giving it
the ability to outrun most prey.
