Ank

A large lizard-like creature used as a herd animal and food producer in the desolate places of the world, the ank is a staple the deserts and wastes.

Anks are large, semi-domesticated, lizard-like creatures that travel the Wildelands in herds. They are useful in the dry lands due to their unique water preservation ability. They chew grasses and plants and deposit a honey-like substance into pouches near its neck. Originally, this was a survival technique for the ank alone, but as they became domesticated, they have been bred to produce a much larger supply of the substance. Not only are anks extremely useful as pack animals in the deep desert, but are also great sources of nourishment in barren lands.
