An adult myrmeco is about the size of a large dog, with short legs and a heavy body. Although not necessarily aggressive or hateful of people, they aren't particularly affectionate and will bite when threatened - and they do have sharp teeth and sharper claws. Too slow to hunt, they feed on small creatures that they can ambush, and on carrion found while wandering around their territories. Adult myrmeco usually only stay in pairs until hatchlings are grown, and these hatchlings rarely stay with either of their parents, preferring to strike out in search of their own home.

Myrmeco are usually found in the northern climes, where their white fur can help them hide out in the snow and their golden markings can reflect the sun to help blind any predators. Confident in their various protections, myrmeco spend the day ambling around looking for food and inspecting new things within their territories, and the night snoring in burrows. Their heavy fur has a tendency towards mats and clumps, but fortunately it can be shorn off and used to weave popular - and thick - blankets that are often sold at festivals.
