Terlens are much faster in the water than most creatures, but they are only moderately skilled flyers. Terlens resemble large winged sharks. They have unusually large maws, and, like those of sharks, their deadly teeth continue to grow throughout their lives. Terlens have excellent natural camouflage: Their gray hides fade into their environs with ease. Although vicious predators, terlens have enough survival instinct to stay away from the large and powerful beings that they sometimes encounter on the Outer Planes. ### Combat Voracious eaters, terlens never pass up a chance for a meal. They cover great distances by day, though they stay low to the ground compared to other large flying predators and use foliage as cover to surprise prey. In combat they instinctively try to strike from ambush, and once their powerful jaws lock on, they crush and worry opponents unlucky enough to be caught. Terlens often use hit-and-run tactics, and as natural hunters they know that their best chance for a kill is a quick strike
