An inix is a large lizard that falls between kanks and mekillots for sheer size. It weighs about two tons and grows to lengths of 16 feet. The inixs back is protected by a thick shell, while flexible scales cover its underside.
Inixes make spirited mounts. They move at a steady pace for as much as a full day and night without needing rest, and can reach speeds equivalent to a kank for short distances. They can carry as much as 750 pounds of passengers and cargo. lnix riders often travel in howdahs, small boxlike carriages strapped to the lizards back. The major drawback to the inix is that it needs large amounts of vegetation and must forage every few hours to maintain its strength. If an inix doesn't get enough to eat, it becomes nearly impossible to control. For this reason, these lizards aren't used on trips where forage land is scarce.
An inix can attack by slapping with its tail. It can also deliver a powerful bite.
lnix shells make very good armor, while the flexible scales of an inix's underside can be woven into a fine leather mesh.
