Bore

"It's adorable. Oh, oh my, it's drilled a hole through my leg!" - TW, describing a Bore.Bores are small white mammals with obsidian beaks that seem to bore into things and devour them, causing them to grow larger.
== Appearance ==
Bores, which are on average only 8" tall, come with white sheep wool all around their body. They are surprisingly round, with the exclusion of their beak which is a dark obsidian color and is harder than diamond. They also have four paws that they walk on, similar to a dog.
== Biology ==
It's not well understood how Bores work. Upon devouring ANY material, a bore will naturally grow within 2-3 days. This happens constantly, as Bores will shrink or grow depending on how much they eat. Such an example is Warden, TW's pet, who would eat incredible amounts and eventually grew to around 20' tall, weighing over 500 lbs. Bores are very similar to earthworms, in that their poop is processed through almost instantly as they eat it. They are considered mammals because Bores do not lay eggs and they have hair. Bores are able to breathe multiple types of gasses, such as hydrogen, helium, carbon, oxygen, boron, nitrogen, and they can even inhale carbon monoxide, a lethal gas to humans, and be relatively fine. They can also strangely consume anything and process it normally. They tend to outlive humans, living upwards to 130-140 years. Bores are also incredibly radioactive, however the radioactivity is only activated once their flesh begins to unstabilize and decompose in your intestines.
== Origin ==
Bores are said to have come from both Gourdcrawlers and Purge. However, it's not quite understood how Bores became so small and mammalian. However, they were found on a trading planet called Rhion-06, under the control of the Humans. The ship carried Bores across entire systems and eventually they became a widely dominate species in every ecosystem.
== Treatment ==
Bores, depending on the planet and the civilization, are either treated as sin gods or mild pests. In some worlds, Bores are considered the "form of gluttony, a cardinal sin". For this, all Bores would be killed. However, on other planets, they are no more annoying to individuals than the common Gourdcrawler.
== Trivia ==
* There were only 2 bores in the entire series who exceeded 20'. Warden and Chili Dog.
* Bores are commonly put in beauty contests, where they will be rewarded food.
* It is jokingly said that Bores are part black-hole, because they passively shrink when not devouring, and grow when devouring.
* Bores have a metabolism slower than that of a sloth.
* A group of bores is called a quarry.
* In some civilizations, they will ignite Bores on fire and toss them at the enemy, and these weapons are called "Living Smores"
* Bores cannot physically understand compassion.
* Bores are more intelligent than Golden Retrievers.
* Bores are the second most efficient "cleaner" creature, only behind fungi. Wild bores sweep the forest floor for anything remotely edible.
* Bore poop can be compressed to make rubies.
* Eating Bore gives you the same radiation dose as standing next to a Demon Core for 10 seconds. You will die within days.
