Jhereg

Jhereg has three meanings, all of which are linked to the fiction of Steven Brust:
''Jhereg'' is the name of the first novel in the Vlad Taltos series, which was published in 1983. ''Steven Brust's JHEREG'' is a graphic novel adaptation published by Marvel Comics in 1987, and ''The Book of Jhereg'' is a slightly amended omnibus collection of the first three books in the series — ''Jhereg'', ''Yendi'', and ''Teckla'' — published in 1999.
A jhereg is an animal in the series' fictional world of Dragaera.
The House of the Jhereg is the Dragaeran Noble House to which Vlad Taltos belongs. Members of House Jhereg are referred to as Jhereg, not jhereg. The animal's name is not capitalized.
==The Animal==
Jhereg are small (40 cm) flying reptiles with leathery wings, sinuous necks, sharp claws, and a venomous bite. While cover art for the Vlad books depicts jhereg as lizardlike quadrupeds, they are described as serpentlike, and have two legs, like wyverns. They mate for life, with the larger females playing the dominant role. Jhereg were originally simple animals, but the manipulations of the Jenoine have given them intelligence comparable to humans. Despite their intelligence, they continue to live as scavengers and predators in the wild. Dragaerans hold them no higher than common animals. Vlad's jhereg familiar, Loiosh, has learned to appreciate the subtleties of human behavior and society through his telepathic link to Vlad.
Another breed of jhereg, separate from their smaller "swampy" brethren, are the "cliff jhereg", which measure eight meters in length. The first time this breed of jhereg is seen in the series is at Deathsgate falls, where Vladimir is amazed and Loiosh is terribly frightened. This may indicate that cliff jhereg are held in a higher respect and standard than their smaller relatives.
