Vai-sehlat
Vai-sehlat is a particularly large subspecies of sehlat, with dense, tawny fur over their shoulders, longer, slender limbs and the profile of an animal adapted to long-distance running. Their heads were more elongated than the typical sehlat, with a dark, aquiline muzzle. All of them sported long, powerful saber-like fangs, much longer than the domestic subspecies. [1]
More feral and harsh in appearance than the domesticated sehlat, they were traditionally used as desert and war mounts by the ancient Vulcans.
Even in modern times, especially in the areas around the Womb of Fire, they are still bred and ridden, though more for tradition than for any other reason.[2]
