Stories say that these elusive creatures used to be pets of the Giants of a foregone era, but nowadays these beasts can only be found far from civilization, living in seclusion with their mate. They have been known to live in near mountains or places of unusual storm activity, and are said to live thousands of years. These creatures tend to avoid most other intelligent creatures, as their furs are widely sought by hunters for their vast protective properties. Those who do go after these creatures, must have a guaranteed way of locking the creature down as it will often flee when it believes it can not win a fight or if it is moderately injured. |
