Gibgibsew
An eight-legged great, omnivorous reptile with the same general shape as a Gila Monster, the gibgibsew possesses the ability to race over the surface of the water like a Jesus Lizard, only on a much larger scale. They are twenty four to thirty feet long (7m to 10m) from head to tail. The slang name for the beast is 'jib.' The creature's eight legs begin to vibrate and any speed above the slowest and this peculiar magical vibration enables it to move over the surface of the water.
Ancient magics are used to dominate and exploit the gibgibsew that could easily devour a human in two gulps. The soddern, gooba reins, and jiblute are all essential equipment along with professional spells of the Demotic Magic variety.
Jibgaits
Jibriders recognize five speeds or jibgaits.
- 1) slopdaugh (up to 10 mph)
- 2) rumble (10 to 20 mph)
- 3) gallaunt (waterwalking) (20 to 30 mph)
- 4) sprattle (waterwalking) (30 to 50 mph)
- 5) jagannath (waterwalking) 55 to up to 60 miles per hour (96 kph) for short sprints.
Sportsmen have embraced the gibgibsew in the quest for very large game. The Games of High Summer held annually in Aurice would be impossible without the gibgibsew and its famously trained rider.
A well-trained gibgibsew at the beginning of its career is worth tens of thousands of silver pieces on the open market.
