Yensa

Bestiary
''Yensa are a large, koi-like creature, living in the Sandsea of the Western Moonsands in Alindae. When full-grown, which takes around 100 years, becomes a Bull-Yensa. Though commonly found moving through the sands, they do occasionally surface. When they surface, they are able to levitate above the ground briefly, but quickly fall back down to the ground. Their outer body is covered in a sheath of bony scales, from beneath which viscous slime is secreted, having the likeness of a membrane, it prevents sand from entering the body of the Yensa. The Urutan have learned the art of harnessing these beasts as an excellent means of travel across the trackless Sandseas of Alindae.''
