   Tharlarion
   Residents in one form or another of most areas of Gor; a number of varieties of these reptiles are domesticated and even bred. The term tharlarion would seem to refer to a species rather than a specific animal, as demonstrated by the numerous mentions of various forms of tharlarions. High tharlarions, which are carnivorous, are used as mounts by cavalry warriors, while others, some even herbivorous, like the broad tharlarion, the land tharlarion and the river tharlarion, are used as draft beasts. In the wild, tharlarion are described as shiny-eyed and fearsome.

   „Tharlarion“ is a general term for several species of animal on Gor which we would doubtless think of as reptiles, or, certainly, as reptilian. There is some speculation they are forms of reptilian life brought to Gor long ago by the Priest-Kings in their Voyages of Acquisition, and may be related to the dinosauria. (It is not clear how long Gor as been in our solar system, or, if, perhaps, it has come and gone at various times in the past, such beasts being protected in the „Nest“ during transits between stars.)

   Others speculate that they are native to the Gorean world, and their resemblance to the dinosauria is a function of ecological niches and convergent evolution. They are usually divided into the quadrupedal and bipedalian varieties. Large quadrupedal types are usually used for draft purposes or as shock forces in ground warfare, rather as might have been the elephants utilized by the Carthaginians in the Punic Wars. Others, faster, upright, etc. are used as mounts, either generally, or by a ground cavalry, so to speak, of the Gorean military.
