OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
The Dii'vyra's sensory abilities most likely evolved to hunt Suchur. Dii'vyra means 'Death from Above' in Suchuri. Being natural enemies the Dii'vyra has become something of a bad omen to the Suchur. Some Gris basqs have been known to train and ride them. After being exiled by the non-force sensitive Suchurs, the Gris basqs formed. Some of the first abilities they developed was influencing beasts of the Nalrobi wilderness. They learned how to train some of the most dangerous creatures of the planet. Eventually they used their ability to conquer the fearsome Dii'vyra. They used the mount to raid and attack other basqs, because of it's ability to track Suchur. This only spread the legend of the nightmare beast further.

- Distinctions: They are large flying predators. The females are slightly larger than the males and more aggressive. Dii'vyras' piercing red eyes are totally blind, so they hunt at night using a combination of smell, echolocation, and electrolocation. They emit high pitch noises, higher than most creature's range of hearing, to communicate and see their environment. They have electrosensory organs that can sense the electromagnetic fields generated by muscle movement. All of these sensory abilities are heightened by not having sight. When hunting the Dii'vyra uses echolocation to find prey great distances away. After getting within range it smells it's target from the sky. In the Dii'vyra's mind the forest below is filled with bright beacons of light, as it uses it's electrosensory organs. Every animal, especially Suchur are easy to find.
- Races: N/A
- Strengths:
- -Now You See Me: Unrivaled trackers, they can sense prey from miles away

- General behavior: The Dii'vyra builds close knit family units that are fiercely protective of each other. The offspring stay with their parents until they find a mate, which kind of happens whenever, much like humans. They are mostly nocturnal, but have been seen hunting in the day time if food is scarce. Dii'vyra are the natural predator of Suchurs, because of the Suchur's amplified electromagnetic field. They are easily trained if you know what you're doing.
