'''Sayronts''' are covered in scales, giving them an overall pine-cone-like shape. They are giganototherms roughly the size of small sheep, who live in herds of six to eight individuals.
Due to the intense competition for blackflora such as [[sunstalks]], it avoids that entirely by specializing in less-abundant but largely unexploited resources of purple flora, most notably [[Fermi Tuffdra]]s that wash ashore. They are most common outside of [[Mangrovecrystal]] groves, for Mangrovecrystals make poor habitat for them and their grey-and-black bodies are awfully conspicuous against yellow-and-green Mangrovecrystals. Still, they occasionally venture into the Mangrovecrystal groves to eat purpleflora. They do not typically swim.
Their
==Reproduction==
Sayronts make three to four young a year: more than than would be expected for something of its size and metabolism.
Along with the [[Snapjaw Sandcrock]] and [[Quadracroc]], they are the only Fermisaurs (at the time of its evolution) to use internal fertilization. It was a very useful trait to evolve, as the female lays her eggs directly into her pond chamber organ and does not secrete them outside her body. Much like a tailed frog (Ascaphus), male Sayronts fertilize the eggs using extensions of the cloaca that resemble a small tail. As the
==Predators==
Although too large and well-armored for some predators, they are appealing prey for others, especially [[Seashrog]]s. They have rich, flavorful meat that tastes of the sea, and their protective scales are no match for
The color brown makes them nervous, for it is a rare color on Fermi, found mostly on Seashrogs: one of their chief predators. In temperate areas, they are most active in the morning and evenings, just to avoid the diurnal Seashrogs.

A Sayront is surprisingly agile if there are obstacles in its path; it can still jump if needed.
