Vaintè is a scientist for the race of lizard-men in Harry Harrison's science fiction book trilogy, West of Eden, Winter in Eden, and Return to Eden. Vaintè lived in the village of Alpeasak (near the real-world location of the Florida Keys) until it was overrun by cro-magnon hunters. She and many other Yilane escaped death by fire[1] by boarding a "Uruketo", a mutated ichthyosaur with its fin designed to hold many Yilane, basically used as a living submersible. Not a lot of her life is known, except she wishes to see the main cro magnon hero of the book, Kerrick, dead.
[edit] Notes
- ^ Yilane don't eat cooked meat, and call fire "smoke-death" and start going insane near it, as their city and equipment are all biologically grown.
