They have supplanted oxen due to their great strength and easy disposition. A Namakari is an omnivore capable of dining on forage, but can have its diet supplemented by almost anything a human would eat, and also things they wouldn't (carrion.) They are particularly fond of fruit and, when they can be had, giant insects. Some claim they are slightly more intelligent than most domesticated animals, but they are not well-adapted to very cold weather. They move at 20 miles per day, and are somewhat tolerant of difficult terrain, especially swamps or sandy deserts. While they make poor riding animals and can only carry 550 pounds on their backs, they are remarkable draft animals when attached to a cart or wagon. Due to their omnivorous diet and higher calorie requirements, 5 pounds of feed per day are advisable for a Namakari that will be working hard. For a namakari pulling a conveyance, it may handle 1200 pounds plus a driver.

None of these species were native to the area, they were all imported from some distant land as eggs. When Veya fell into its currently half-feral state, nobody wanted to pay to maintain the kind of military infrastructure that the war-lizards required. The Namakari, though, are sufficiently useful in their own right that they are still produced on several outlying ranches and available on the open market.
