Dzur
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The dzur is a carnivorous creature indigenous to the fictional planet Dragaera, created by Steven Brust. Alternatively, Dzur can refer to one of the seventeen Great Houses of the Dragaeran people, or to a member of that house (although such members are often also referred to as Dzurlords). The Cycle Poem of imperial succession, describing each of the different creatures and respective houses notes "Dzur stalks and blends with night". Dzur (novel) is also the title of the tenth book of the Vlad Taltos series.
