Slishbanes are a family in the reptilian group Rhynchocephalia. They are unique in that they never stop growing, and do not die of old age. Most Slishbanes are aquatic.

Evolution
Slishbanes are believed to have evolved during the Triassic, and particularly flourished throughout the Mesozoic. As Slishbane growth is dependent upon the availibility of their food, it is believed that Slishbanes survived the KT mass-extinction because, although larger adults died, smaller juveniles stayed small enough to feed themselves until food stocks replenished.
