The myklian is a fearsome beast, some form of large lizard or amphibian that usually travels on four legs, but sometimes stands upright on two legs. It has a short, stubby tail which is triangular in shape and covered with a luminescent, chitinous plate. Hard scales cover the rest of the beast's body, except for the soft underbelly. Bony spikes and knobs guard the beast's joints. The coloration of the myklian species ranges the entire spectrum, red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple.[1]

Hunting strategies

Any attempt to skin or search a myklian will damage your right hand, up to a level 2 wound.

Additionally, myklians cannot take damage from a "closed fist" attack; this will only cause a wound to appear on your right hand.

Attacking a myklian may have a small chance of disarming one's primary weapon as it strikes a "bony protrusion" on it:

You swing your old wakizashi at the red myklian. The weapon strikes one of the bony protrusions on the myklian's body and it is wrenched out of your grasp!
The old wakizashi falls to the ground!
Roundtime: 5 sec.

Other information

Myklians will spawn in multiple different colors. "A young myklian" tends to spawn on occasion, whose attacks are slightly weaker than other myklians. All of these creatures are the same, for the purposes of Adventurer's Guild bounty hunting.

Myklians will occasionally emit ice flares with their attacks, which can potentially be deadly:

A red myklian stomps at you with its foot!
  AS: +241 vs DS: +169 with AvD: +29 + d100 roll: +22 = +123
   ... and hits for 4 points of damage!
   Glancing blow to your right leg!

 ** You feel an icy blast from the red myklian! **
   ... 35 points of damage!
   What was once your right leg seems to have disappeared!
You fall screaming to the ground grasping your mangled right leg!
   You are stunned for 8 rounds!
