Lowa

Lowa is a male Cape clawless otter and a Drylander.
== Appearance ==
Lowa is a thick-coated animal with glossy deep chestnut fur that slowly pales to white on his chest, throat, and muzzle. He has a small, oval-shaped, whiskery face and tiny, wide-set ears. His body is long, low-slung, and solid, his legs firmly muscled. Though his limbs are short, they are powerful, easily propelling him through strong currents. The webbing between them is strong, although between to of his right front toes there is a scar where he once ripped it. His tail is thick and heavy, usually dragged behind him as he walks. His eyes are beady and dark brown, positioned not far above his round black nose. Two of his creamy white bottom teeth protrude slightly over his lip.
== Personality ==
Jovial and social, Lowa is a very talkative and friendly animal. He is wary of those who look or behave differently than normal, but is always willing to offer his friendship. He treats others with courtesy and respect, though he keeps his distance from predators. Despite his politeness, he does not appreciate being asked to share his food, and is possessive over everything he owns. He is proud of how well-tended he keeps his burrow, and prefers that it is he and he only who enters it. Though he is interested in finding a mate, he has yet to encounter a female otter that he is attracted to. He is curious about having pups, and would like to eventually have a family. He often watches the young of other animals and warns the parents if he sees a predator approaching. Lowa loves to swim, and spends much of his time in water. Though not gluttonous, he does quite enjoy eating and will savor every mouthful of his food.
== History ==
===Early Life===
Lowa was born in a small body of water that dried up before he was fully grown. He searched for weeks before finding the Drylands, and was at first discouraged by the lack of water. However, he soon found the Mkondo River, and was quite satisfied to dig a burrow on its bank.
