Species: ilujanka
The ilujanka, also known as the dragon riders, are race of creatures in the game RuneScape from the planet Iaia. They are anthropomorphic bipedal lizards with long tails and many frills. Their scales come in a variety of colours, often with additional colours forming patterns, particularly on their underbelly. They are generally shorter than humans. Warriors tend to favour lances, but in general they do not fight unless necessary.
The ilujanka can link minds with other reptilian creatures, generally those that cannot normally communicate. With this link, they can communicate, and often control those creatures.
Something happened to the ilujanka which caused them, as a race, to inefficiently absorb the anima of their planet, which significantly reduced their ability to reproduce. The dragonkin Kerapac began work on helping them resolve this; eventually his son Vicendithas completed his research.
Notable ilujanka include: Hannibus, Vindicta, Sharrigan.
In Old School RuneScape, the dragon riders are briefly mentioned, but they are not seen. They are not given a physical description, nor is the term ilujanka used.
