Species Standards
Prefered Habitat: Murp only live in open areas where there is plenty of grass to graze on. Fields, Prairies,
Plains. Very rarely do they live in scrublands where food is more scarce, but they have been known to be
sighted there. Though they can easily travel through woodlands, they avoid them.
Diet: The Murp are grazers, eating grass and grains alike. Their bellies aren't too good at digesting harder
plants like bushes, so they usually eat the greener stuff.
Call: They give out a long (or sometimes short) bleating call that resembles their name, "Murp, murp,
muuuurp-pa-pa!"
Special Care Needs: Brush their fur every day. If you don't, they'll get painful mats in a hurry. If you are
unable to brush their fur, you should at least trim it (though that will prevent them from being able to
withstand cold nights as easily). Their cloven hooves should also be trimmed at least monthly, or they'll
grow out too long like fingernails.
Biology and Anatomy: Murp are stocky animals - and though they look fat, they're quite the opposite.
Beneth their thick fur rests thin legs and a chest packed with muscles. Their fur is not only to protect the
more cold-vulnurable parts of their body from heat-loss (head, chest, ankles), but it also serves as a puffy
"armor" to prevent predators from biting their vitals, like their neck... Much like a lion's mane helps to protect
itself from a fight with other lions. These creatures are also rumored to grow great horns as they grow
older - the larger the horns, the more healthy the individual... But of course, as babies, they just kinda'
wobble, roll, frolic, and eat and cry.
Behavioral Study: They're very similar to thundergugs in nature, but less stubborn. They live in large herds -
sometimes reaching the thousands in quantity, and would generally rather flee than fight. However, if their
young are in danger, or it is a large male defending the herd - they are creatures you perhaps would not like
to be on the sour side of.
Suggested Uses: On one hand, this is a favorite food to many Draconics, and Wiurn alike.. On the other
hand, they make marvelous pack animals - and some people claim that they make good companions.

| Breeds Available |
White: The White Murp is the easiest to spot in a field, and therefore is one of the favorites of shepherds.
Their coat also makes the "cleanest" fabrics if one were to shave them.
Brown: The Brown Murp is by far one of the most common - and one of the more hardy breeds. Because it's
coat is not so appealing however, it's not favored by many shepherds. This is the breed most commonly
found in the wilds.
Black: The Black Murp is a "collector's favorite". It's not actually a different breed to itself, but rather a genetic
oddity of the White murp (much like white tigers).. As such, the Black Murp is more rare, and though it's less
favored for it's coat quality by shepherds, they want to keep them anyway - as a mascot or even "prize".
Strawberry: Haven't you seen a picture of a Strawberry Murp on a skirt? No...? Oh, well.. maybe that's a
different animal. At any rate, they're very popular, and have been adopted out quite quickly.

| Dairy Dairy murp are supposed to be the best at producing dairy products when they grow up. Even the boys! Of course, it's just because they're creted in the lab to do that. Neat, huh? |
