Razogar

The razogar (monstrum caprae), also known as the horned devil, or simply razog, is a species of monstrous entities which can be found in dense humid forests of almost every continent and realm. It is notable for its size and humanoid-like structure and physique. The razogar is an apex predator, as it has no known natural predators hunting or living in its area. The creature is known to prey upon other mammals and also marine animals such as fish. It is responsible for the most recorded history of humanoid-child murder/disappearence incidents.
== History ==
Even in very early ages of humanoid-like creatures and civilizations, the recordings of a monstrous entity stealing infants or leaving behind severed child-like body parts always stood as a sort of creepy horror story but reality. Villages near forests of all kinds reported or have recorded history of attacks by a goat-like, yet humanoid but serpentine looking tall heavy creature lurking in shadows or breaking in town-edge homesteads.
Series of livestock and forest attacks also point towards the same creature that happened in both Nieden and Cymru forests. Those that stayed skeptical or refused to believe opined that wild-dogs or tribal societies are behind the acts.
On several instances some drawings also came to light, but in recent times the University of Osundir has released a study after weeks of autopsy about a creature they named “Razogar”, and widely show same traits as heard from tales or seen in drawings.
== Distribution and habitat ==
Razogars live in almost every dense-humid environment such as Great- Taigas, Jungles, Mangrove Swamps and rarely Lush Caves and prefers temperatures between 12 and 28 °C (54 and 82 °F).
On the realm where Rathnir and Eldham reside the species have been spotted at several cases in the continents of Syltör, Nieden and Cymru. It appears to be aggressive towards humanoids due to recent overpopulation of these continents.
On the realm where Kylorne resides the species have been spotted on the central hemisphere and appear to be neutral to humanoids.
== Anatomy and appearance ==
The razogars are one of the few monster-species that humans actually had the opportunity to analyze further. Current records are from the University of Osundir’s studies. 
Razogar has distinct curved horns on both sides of its skulls. A scaley keratinized layer hides the bony core within it. The robust large skull has a large set of serrated teeth symmetrically on both the upper and lower jaw, while one canine-tooth-like grabbing fang at the front, attached to the lower jaw. The teeth have three separate layers, the Cusp cowering the crown foot, and the root below directly connecting to the serpentin-like skull. The eyes appear to be humanoid-like with double-skinned and furred eye-lids covering both the sclera and iris. The pupils seem larger than an average human, and may have the ability to roll completely back.
The largest portion of a razogar is its body, which appears to be half-humanoid-like. A single layer of furred skin hides the chest and abdomen areas, the creature appears to have double hearts, and pancreas following the kidney in great contrast to an average humanoid. The muscle tissues cover the whole cage-area, and the intestines follow through the whole body.
A sole kidney is located within the core of the lower-abdomen. Both arteries and veins connect with two ureters bridging in from above and below the inside. The medulla and cortex are surrounded by a thick layer of fat to ease the motion.
The upper limbs, or arms are very man-like with a muscular stature. The hands seem to have evolved into claws, with the carpus and the nar pads ending with long scaly fingers with horn-like blackened nails at the end of each one. The lower limbs, or legs are animalistic and goat-like, with a pair of hoofs at each end. The hoofs appear to have a pointy horn-like apex and toes, with the wall surrounded by a scaly texture and the overgrown sain-bone divides into the hoof and the dew claw.
=== Size ===
In razogars, no general size-difference could be found between male or female variants. They average 102.36 (258 cm) inch tall and around 308.6 (140 kg) pounds in weight. The two horns appear to be 17,32 inches each. The skull is approximately 27,3 inch tall but may vary, it is rather skinny in width with only half its size. Individual teeth average on 1,57 inch. The torso or abdomen and chest area are close to 55,11 inch tall, the arms and legs are 45.27 and 43.3 inches, but may vary by type. The lower-abdomen area is 24,86 inch tall, while only the river is 7,87 inches wide. The hands are 12,4 while the foot area appears to be 7,8 inch in length.
According to the University of Osundir in recent sightings the creature can both walk on its two feet, but may also go down on all four to quickly outrun even horses.
=== Name ===
Razogars come from various sources but were named by dwarven cultures from areas where they could be found. In its original form Razog meant mischievous in the local languages, as the monster originally mainly hunted for children or infants of species before evolving into the dangerous entity it is now. In other cultures the symbolism of razogars are similar to Ice axes, which are these half-T shaped pickaxes resembling the skull and body structure of the creature.
== Behaviour ==
The creature tends to keep its general distance unless its hunting for food. When approached or not-avoiding its zone of course it first tries to grab its victim. If a fighting commences it lowers to all-four and attempts to use both horns, claws, teeth and fangs to brutally tear apart its victim, then eat at spot.
Razogars hunt completely alone, and it is quite a rarity to see two around each other, unless mating. In those seasons sealion-like growls sweep through the forests for calls of dance. During the process the male razogar brings food or unique bones/sticks as gifts to the female counterpart. They breed like any mammals and give birth in between 2,5-3 months to 1 or 2 infants. An infant razogar sticks to their father for 18 months, then leaves and looks for its own hunting ground. Siblings and parents-children seem to recognise each other, but still avoid one another.
They are carnivorous and prey upon mammals, humanoids and fish. Known instances also include that they consume un-digastable objects when hungry. They prey and lurk, then outrun their prey. Upon approaching the species, they appear to be intelligent and predominantly hunt for easy victims such as infants or children. They attack all kind of living that appear dangerous to their survival.
=== Natural threats ===
There are only two recorded threats to razogars, one is the creature known as Ent King, who also hunts in similar areas. While the others are civilized humanoids, who tend to group up to overcome a hunting ground or the creature itself in order to protect themselves.
Razogars are immune to fire and do not seem to be bothered by either explosion or piercing. When attacked with weapons of slashing they seem to cause distress and damage to its body and core.
