The bunyip is a carnivorous reptilian creature which inhabits Oceanyka's lower wetlands. It is believed to be distantly related to the Komodo Dragon. Bunyip possess a number of sensory organs in their head, which allows them to detect prey under murky waters and mud, striking with venomous sharp teeth which allow them to fight against much larger and more aggressive foes, and consume them afterwards. For this task, they usually camouflage themselves beneath mud or the waterline, pouncing on their prey when the time is right. These creatures are almost universally feared by human settlers in the regions they inhabit.
