Jaga

Jaga, called "Rabbit eaters" by the first Emtehite visitors to Vinka, were long legged reptiles that were about the size of German Shephards and lived on neighboring islands. They managed to get to Vinka when the Emtehite first arrived. It was assumed they had come on one of the Emtehite boats, but it was discovered later that the animals had the ability to swim for short distances, and there were short sprints between their islands that they were able to cross.

Their favorite food, as their nickname suggested, was rabbits, but they also ate other small animals, and killed some small children as well. It was decided that the animals be brought with the colonists, and along with Ogots, much protest was raised about their inclusion.
