Christopher (creature)

Christophers are huge, wide, air-breathing bottom-feeders that grub along shallow riverbeds. Birds and amphibians—or their alien counterparts—often take rides on a christopher's back, as predators hesitate to approach the beast.
==Riding Along==
Christophers are generally docile, but will shake off their riders if they get too rowdy or block their breathing hole. As christophers are generally patient however, they readily carry travelers—in fact, some scientific expeditions and surveys have been conducted on their backs!Christophers can safely carry about 2 tons.
As the migration routes of christophers can be 3,000 miles long, it may be wise to have a plan for returning once one has made it to their destination. Likewise, if it's mating season, it may not be safe to be around the creatures at all!Fanon
== Trivia ==
* Oddly enough, there's no connection between this creature (from early GURPS) and the modern GURPS writer Christopher R. Rice.
