== Description ==
=== Behavior ===
 
* love to chew on bones.
* are fiercely loyal to protecting their object of choice, rarely that object is a living creature.
* shed their tusks.
* hibernate during the cold months.
=== Artist Headcanon ===
* are able to control the concentration of heat within their body, often being very hot to the touch but taking care not to burn the ground beneath them.
** Their ashy aura is the result of shedding and burning off excess weight.
* When hibernate during the cold months, their body begins to harden, and fire seeps through the cracks; compare to hardened lava.
* Individuals whose flame appears to be going out are avoided or shunned, they are seen as a bad omen once their fire goes out.
* Consuming large amounts of vegetation will turn them and their fire a yellow-ish hue, although this is only done so if food is scarce.
== Appearance ==
The is a quadruped that has similar features to a nian (Chinese New Year lion) or qilin with the body of a pig/boar, with some neural-spine-sail-like crest covering its back, with its tail imitating part of the spine sail. It has smoke particles coming from its mouth and ash/dust on its back. Its head additionally bears two pairs of long, curved teeth sticking out from the rest of teeth like tusks, and two small pieces of armor plate between its lower and mid eyes. It may also resemble an Aztec lion due to the form in its head.
=== Males ===
Males have an additional cartoonish-smoke-like tuft of fur over its eyes.
=== Females ===
Females lack the tuft of fur males present.
== Abilities ==
== Gameplay ==
=== Pros ===
It has a good appetite, meaning it's not tied too close to food and water sources. Additionally, it can eat on the run, so it can avoid getting stuck while eating. Its very high weight allows the to reduce drastically the damage done by nearly every creature in-game, which combined with its high HP makes this creature quite tanky. When you additionally consider its defensive and offensive burn capabilities which are the equally effective against creatures with any HP regen, this creature can be quite fearsome in close combat in the vast majority of cases. Its ligament tear ability also helps in slowing down targets.
An unintended side effect of its body shape allows the to climb better too, and to fit on spaces most other terrestrial Tier 5s cannot, due to its smaller hitbox.
=== Cons ===
Its damage output is a bit low for its high tier, making it quite ineffective against the few creatures with more weight than itself. Its horrible stamina and stamina regeneration makes it easy for this creature to tire and slow to recover, as well as making it impossible to stay underwater for long before drowning (it's recommended to save up energy for when it's needed). Its turn speed is also quite low allowing them to be more likely to be anklebit.
Its bad night vision means it cannot detect creatures with Night Stalker or better night vision from afar.
Fighting this creature close to water and/or using abilities which nullify burn such as Athulyth's Fortify may make its close combat capabilities ineffective, plus the is vulnerable to fighting without biting (such as with breaths or special abilities).
Its smoke and ash effects are a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it makes laggy players even laggier (so it may affect the user and others nearby and give an advantage to one or another). On the other hand, the trail makes it easy to know where the has been and follow it easily.
== Carry-able Creatures ==
== Trivia ==
