Carliths blocking the way in southeast Pianda.
Carliths are reptiles dwelling in Pianda and Antara in Betrayal at Antara.
Carliths are encountered in Chapters 1, 2, and 6.
Description
Carliths are large gray-brown reptiles with beady eyes, heavy low-slung bodies, sharp teeth, and vicious jaws that drip saliva. Land-dwellers, they grow up to four feet long and move quickly on all fours. They hiss when attacking and when struck.
A very common species, Carliths are found both above and below-ground, lurking on paths and inhabiting caves.
