Me-naak

Me-naak riding animals originally from Japan but bred in the Fil-pin lands. They look like a long legged crocodile. Their legs are shaped like a dogs. Their skin like a rhino pig's thick and with bristly hair. They have a heavy plywood thick case protecting their vitals. Me-naaks are called 'meanies' by the Destroyermen. Their jaws are usually strapped shut and, they make fine cavalry mount as long as the trooper does not mind his mount's fondest wish is to eat him [DT Pb. p 102-103].
