The Verdelisks are a species of Protector-sized dragon-like reptiles that are native to Okoto's jungle region (though a few sometimes wander into the swamps of the Region of Water). Their wings are too small for them to fly; at best, they can glide for short distances, which is enough to allow them to hop from tree to tree. When in large open spaces, the Verdelisks use their wings for short hops, giving them a notable speed boost.
The villagers of the jungle have tamed a few Verdelisks and sometimes use them to carry goods as part of a caravan. These individuals wear special harnesses with containers on them. What they gain in storage, they lose in speed, as they have difficulty using their wings while wearing the harnesses.
