A fintail, or paharan'ost in Draconic,[1] is a breed of large aquatic dinosaur.[2]
Description[]
With ovoid bodies and elongated necks, fintails live in the water, using their four paddle-like fins to propel themselves. They also possess a finned tail as well, which helps them navigate. It is just as fast across the surface of the ocean as it is fully submerged. Fintails measure about 10 feet (3 meters) long.[2]
Behavior[]
Fintails are carnivorous, hunting fish with its long neck. It will whip its neck at schools of fish, snapping up as much fish as possible. If the fish is small enough, the fintail can even swallow it whole. Like other dinosaurs, fintails track by sense of smell, and possess both low-light vision and darkvision.[2]
