Gospla

Gospla is the Jathya-Dhumi word for a newt-like, freshwater amphibian found throughout Corundy, Throvy, the western Steppes, Yephalah, Shelekhumbia, and the Adamantine Mountains. As domesticated pets, gospla are found throughout the West. Other varietals with differing appearances which go by names other than gospla are found throughout the World of Asdar. The creature is about one to one and a half meters long as an adult, mildly venomous, and sometimes used as a pet or wizard's familiar. They come in numerous colorful hides and thus are favored by exotic pet fanciers. Domesticated varieties largely have been bred to reduce the toxicity of their venom, although exceptions exist where the creatures are used to protect households. When kept by fanciers, they are almost always placed under the law-lock. In the wild, they dwell in ponds, streams, rivers, and sometimes the deepearth. The reclusive Ithrabbi of the Amosgire are rumored to keep and breed gospla as pets. Gospla are not considered galimshara, although it can bear the weight of small humanlikes such as halflings, gnomes, and Umyami.
