Oceous live in the deserts of Phrone, usually near caverns and the rivers to get shelter and water. They prey on the Falumpasets near the rivers there, making them a feared predator in the area. These creatures tend to be problematic near ranches as they feast on everything they can find. Since they have big stomachs, they can hold a lot more food than normal.

## Appearance

The Oceous is a giant feline creature that has more than 40 teeth in their mouth, with two sharp long canine teeth on the sides. These teeth are good for ripping into their prey to eat the meat inside.

Their tails have a giant club at the end which helps them balance as well as fight off predators or threats such as the inhabitants on their homeworld.

When this feline turns on its night vision, their eyes shift to a greenish look, putting them with the best night hunters in the galaxy. The long sharp claws also extend out of their paws, which are retractable. One claw grows on the upper limbs of their arms and legs, which is used to dig into their prey when they are grabbing onto it or just to grab onto trees or walls for support.

These creatures have two hearts and giant lungs, making them able to run at high speeds (up to 70 mph) without running out of energy. Usually, these creatures will avoid the water but when they need to, they will swim for short periods of time.

## Society

Oceouses like to live in packs of around 20 - 25 members, which could be dangerous for many creatures as they are pack hunters. The females tend to hunt more than the males do and they are known for being bigger and eat first. The lead male will have the first bites but many of the females will eat before the males.

If a male Oceous decides to attack the leader to take the leader role, he must win or be killed/expelled from the pack. These acts tend to happen in their caves, which is why there isn't a vast library of these events being recorded.

The cubs of these creatures tend to be playful and curious as they always get into trouble and search around the deserts for new things. They have been known to go into cities or villages and wander around to find food or items to play with. These creatures like to bring back items to their dens to play with. When they are young, they aren't seen as a threat to many creatures, which allows them to walk around other herds without provoking them. The adult Oceouses are very protective of their young and will do anything they can to make sure they are by their side at all times. The young Oceous like to sneak away from their parents but are always found due to their specific scents. Every Oceous has a different scent, making them stand out from one another. Also, the clubs on the Oceous's tails have different patterns, making each one unique.

People who live in Phrone have been able to tame the Oceouses over the years, taking them in when they are young and raising them together. The first year is crucial because the parents are very protective and will try to get their child back. Poachers like to hunt these creatures for their furs, teeth, and clubs, seeing them as valuable on the markets.
