Nerm

Nerm are wildlife in Pyria.

Synopsis
Nerms are strange carnivores very low on the food chain. Despite their strange appearance and feisty demeanor (as well as large appetite) these strange creatures have gained the enamorment of many, and are a somewhat popular shoulder pet in Pyria...especially with the fact that, when tamed, survivors teach them to use their long tongues to skillfully deal with buzzing insects. Tamed nerm are actually so effective at this they can kill large swarms of dragonflies or ants from their master's shoulder without much trouble!

Taming
Nerm are standard carnivores that are passive tames, being able to be handfed at any level. Be sure to feed them carefully from behind, as otherwise the Nerm will become agitated and attack.
