807 Daeodus 808 Fiorellan Hedgehog

[ShaiNeko]

What deer?

Edit: Y'all worry me.

Spoiler

A mature daeodus stands nearly seven feet tall at the shoulder with a three-foot mouth that holds massive, sharpened tusks. They are large enough to eat pretty much anything they regularly come across, and do just that. Daeodus are true omnivores, devouring plants, crops, garbage, small animals, livestock, carrion, people, and even other daeodus. Their ravenous appetites are difficult to sate, and even if they are somehow satisfied, they do not remain full for long. When they are not hunting or foraging, daeodus can usually be found fighting bloody battles with others of their kind. Their thick hide and determination usually prevents lethal injuries, but by the time they are four or five years old, a daeodus is usually covered in scars. Broken teeth, missing eyes, and re-healed bones are not uncommon among wild animals. Despite their stocky build, daeodus can run nearly as fast as a horse for short bursts and turn quickly to snap at prey. A daeodus which has been raised by a person, magical or otherwise, will usually remain affectionate toward that person, even allowing themselves to be pet and fed. They are still aggressive toward most other creatures, especially other daeodus, and must be carefully managed by their owner. Even then, they are not household pets, and require constant training and plenty of food to keep from running rampant.

Some evil part of me wants to cross this with a Cehual Boar. lol

Are you trying to get us eaten?

I would prefer not to be food. But regardless, the creature is cool looking.

I love the Hedgehog - but this Daeodus make my dreams horrible.
What should this be? *lol*
First I believe this is a kind of toad.

I said it was an evil part. lol Thankfully, that is a very small part.

First year magi: Oh, look at the adorable little pig deer!

*Later* Wait. Oh. Oh no. This isn't what I signed up for. Oh dear.


Lol. Actually, it is neither pig nor deer. These are based on entelodonts, which, joy of joys, were real animals. They're thought to be more closely related to hippos and whales than anything else. The descriptions are based on Daeodon, which was one of the largest entelodonts, up to about six feet tall at the shoulder. And yes, they did eat meat.

New critters already? I can't keep up!

[FennecFyre]

Ya'll don't even know how glad I am that we're getting entelodont companions >:D Those things have the nickname "Hell Pig" for a reason, and they're one of my favorite extinct species.

[cg570014]

I didn't know new creatures were released and now I'm egglokced!

[Chimera]

Omg. The Daeodus are so bizarre and funky looking, I love them so much

6 adult hedghogs, 3 pig-deer hatchies and 4 pig-deer eggs. Sigh... Well, the Kirin weren't exactly quick hatchers, either--at least the hedgehogs grew up fast!
