Species Standards
Prefered Habitat: They enjoy living in wide open spaces, but often "den" underground to keep cool. The
place they feel most comfortable is on a mountain-top overlooking a great plain, where they can hunt below.
They have no problems in dealing with the heat of the day on the plains, nor do they have a problem
surviving a cold evening where frost covers the ground.
Diet: Strictly carnivorous. They eat anything small enough for them to catch. As young creatures, they start
with what their parents bring them - but as they get older, they begin to catch things like wild equillion.
Call: When they're young, they only seem to make a pathetic "Mrrowl!" When they are older however, they
are renound for their vicious sounding roars, which can be heard for miles.
Special Care Needs: Their fur should be brushed at least once a week. You should also provide them with
a lot of "stuff" to do to keep them occupied, or their habits may turn to the more disctructive. One saying that
is quickly catching on for this species is; "Befriend the valiant Balgor, or fear his terrible fang."
Biology and Anatomy: These creatures generally have thin and whispy fur. Around their necks and heads,
their fur thickens to protect their vitals (chest, neck, head). Their tail is also quite thick in their fur, which they
use to wrap around their bodies to keep warm. Their claws are not large compared to cats, and in fact,
their claws can best be considered akin to a dogs'. The most noticable, and common thing to note about a
balgor though, is their Fangs. Their "fangs" (which grow in as they mature) are actually tusks. These tusks
are used as the Balgor swings it's head from side to side, to damage foes that may be attacking from the
side, or behind. Attack a Balgor from the front, tend to it's teeth. Attack a Balgor from the side, tend to it's
tusks. Attack a Balgor at all, and you'll still have to work your way through their thick manes.
Behavioral Study: These creatures are generally solitary, unless they find a mate. They do, after all, mate
for life. There is no visual difference between a male and female balgor - as they both sport manes, thick
tails, and "fangs". They live alone, hunt alone, and sleep alone. When they do find a suitable mate
however, they life, hunt, and sleep together to raise the babies. When the babies are mature enough to
leave home, they go their seperate ways. The parents' however, will remain together forever. In training a
Balgor, the owner generally "replaces" this need - making a wonderful and loyal partner for life.
Suggested Uses: These creatures are wonderful guardian companions. Treat them with love and respect,
and you'll have a marvelous and valiant beast by your side. Ignore them, and you may be eaten.

| Breeds Available |
Crimson: The Crimson breed is a rather special creature, and by far one of the most popular to this date.
It's blue eyes make it very attractive, as does it's striking red fur. It's true charm however, comes with the fact
that within' it lives the spirit of Fire.
Tawny: Tawny is by far the most common (and least desired) of the breeds. It lacks any connection to the
elements, and was the first to make it's way into the wilds. Sadly, it is not uncommon to see a Tawny Balgor
tethered to the end of a chain in somebody's yard to guard their house. Poor creatures.
Temblor: The Temblor has a magnificent coat, and is sadly poached for it. This creature is the most
magestic of the Balgor, with a lot less hunting instincts, and more "family" instincts... Though never assume
it is friendly by nature! These creatures make the "best" guardians, according to the opinions of some, and
within' it's heart is Purity.
Miasma: Many would consider the Miasma breed to be the "corrupt" breed, but this is simply not so. Just as
a skunk uses noxious chemicals to defend itself when in danger, so does the Miasma.. Except the
Miasma's chemicals have much more... deadly.. effects.

| Tsavo The Tsavo is the "corrupt" breed of Balgor, and is a true man-eater, as can be clearly seen by it's blood-red eyes. Of course, like any Balgor, with proper training they can be wonderful guardians.. but... Would you be willing to take that risk? |
