Species Standards
Prefered Habitat: Varies from breed to breed, please read below.
Diet: The Thundergug is a strict herbarvore. They tend to stick to grains and vegetables more than fruits
though.
Call: They make a very loud and deep trumpeting call... They also snort when angry.
Special Care Needs: The Thundergug tend to be a rather stubborn creature... not dumb or violent, just...
stubborn - keep that in mind when training them.
Biology and Anatomy: Massive and solid, a thundergug is a powerhouse combining the best bits of
mammal and reptile anatomy. Like most reptiles, weight for weight thundergug muscle is four times as
potent as mammalian muscle. Additionally, a gug's crest and tail are not only ornaments--they act as fat
storage for tougher times. This in mind, gugs require tremendous amounts of fodder to keep them healthy
(a fat gug is a happy gug!) and can suffer vitamin deficiencies if their diet is forcefully restricted. Left to
themselves however, a gug is perfectly capable of mowing its hungry way through your favourite roses (and
anything else they feel like eating at the time).
Behavioral Study: They live in groups of 4-14 in the wild, and so - they get along easily with their owner. Very
hard-headed creatures, they tend to be far too stubborn for their own good (you can lead a horse to water,
but you can't make it drink). Very little frightens them - very little indeed, and not much can make them move
if they feel the need to stay put. It is rumored, that when an adult walks, it makes the very ground shake, to
create the sound of "thunder".
Suggested Uses: Because of their ability to not move if they don't want to, or rather, to move when they want
to regaurdless of what "holds them back", they are often used as creatures to lead wagons, or other various
heavy objects. One can easily see an adult Thundergug pulling a war wagon behind it.

| Breeds Available |
Tundra: The tundra breed lives in the vast open plains of.. well.. the frozen tundra. They munch on the small
shrubby plants there, and are able to survive in the harsh environement there, able to last quite a long time
with scarce food. Many people seek them out for their pelt coloration, and thus, they were all adopted out.
Wasteland: The wasteland breed gets it's name from the coloration of it's pelt - matching the blackened
ground where volcanos had once erupted their fury... Like the tundra breed, they are able to survive in harsh
environments with little food or water available... Even though their home originated at the base of a volcano,
they have since spread out into various deserts of the world.
Forest: The forest breed live in smaller groups (3-7), and usually reside... well.. within' forests... Other than
that, there are very few differences between them, and the other breeds.
Savannah: The savannah breed is the most "typical" breed of the Thundergugs. They live in vast open
plains... usually... They also border on deserts, but tend not to venture too far in, for the environement can be
too harsh for them. They usually have the largest of herds.
