I myself had seen, once, dug out of sand in the Vosk basin, the petrifaction of a titanic, fanged, serpentine skull, and once, washed free of collapsed strata in the Voltai, petrifications of the knobs of a spine far longer than those of any known form of tharlarion. - (Avengers of Gor, Chapter 18, Sentence #74)

I did know, however, that such things, or things much like them, once existed. That was not controversial. That was not a matter of myth, at least to those possessed of the Second Knowledge, but of distant, remote fact, fact dating back to what must have been fearful times. I myself had seen, once, dug out of sand in the Vosk basin, the petrifaction of a titanic, fanged, serpentine skull, and once, washed free of collapsed strata in the Voltai, petrifications of the knobs of a spine far longer than those of any known form of tharlarion. Putting together what we think we know of the hith, from stories, legend, and evidence, it was an immense, constricting serpent, over a hundred feet in length with a girth the diameter of which would have been something like eight to ten feet.

As it was not herbivorous, one supposes it preyed on animals as small as the tabuk and as large as tharlarion, even carnivorous tharlarion, the encounters with which must have produced epic battles. - (Avengers of Gor)
