Maraegian nizari are native to the eastern swamps of Taggelisk, though small populations of nizari can be found in nearly any secluded wetlands. These massive creatures prefer to live near deep marshes, where they hunt for turtles, sturgeon, catfish, and even freshwater sawfish that occasionally make their way upstream. Few animals can escape the jaws of the nizari, which have hundreds of sharp teeth that are constantly lost and replaced throughout the animal’s life. The teeth are covered in a magical substance similar to that which coats dragon scales, making them impervious to damage and sharper than the finest steel. This substance also coats their massive claws, which are long and curved to help them hook slippery fish. Many people once considered maraegian nizari extinct, for they used to be found in more open waters than their current habitats. If given the choice, these creatures prefer large, fresh bodies of water with plentiful prey, but will retreat into more heavily forested regions if disturbed. They have little trouble swimming through tight waterways, for though nizari are known to grow over fifty feet in length, they can also shrink themselves to be no larger than a hen.
