Hanzaki

Bestiary
''Hanzaki are massive, salamander-like reptiles. Their flesh is slimy but tough, and their tongue is incredibly long. They have no eyes, and are thought to navigate by scent and hearing; something they are far from poor at doing. Despite being capable of breathing air, they tend to nest underwater, most often within rivers and other freshwater sources; only surfacing to feed on animals drinking from their streams. They are fairly rare, and mostly only seen when they are big enough to cause trouble to farmlands by eating livestock.''
