Charok
Sized just larger than a polar bear, these cool-climate creatures are kings of the tundra. Their bodies are built like a bear's and their heads resemble those of pudgy sabertooth tigers. They are also clawed and have large tusks but only use them when threatened. Normally, Charoks will stay together in packs of 5-10, the pack being their immediate mate and offspring. They are carnivorous and usually find food by scavenging the lands. A Charok only needs to eat its own size in food to be able to survive for an entire season. If food cannot be found and parts of the pack start to die off, they become instinctually canniballistic and eat the dead to survive. Charoks can be hunted for their tusks, furs, and claws but can sometimes prove more of a nuisance than a benefit since they are very aggressive when the pack is disturbed. |
