A Bhorket was a type of herbivorous creature.
Description[]
Bhorket were often mistaken for apes, since they closely resembled them and were covered with long, shaggy pelts of brown-green fur, but were in fsact more closely related to bears.
They were quite skittish herbivores with no means of defence other than incredible agility and strong hind legs, enabling them to leap up to ten metres in a single bound and swing through trees with astonishing speed. They never grew larger than one-and-a-half metres tall, and their flesh was said to be extremely succulent and tender, with creatures such as jackals or panthers preying upon them.
Bhorket would only mate every four years or so, producing a single cub that they would be extremely protective of. As it took three years for a cub to grow to maturity and self-reliance, the huge investment in their young suggested that Bhorket mate for life - it is known that they took turns in bringing food to and keeping guard over the cub, wildly attacking any predators they encountered to ensure the safety of the helpless cub.[1]
Origins and Distribution[]
Bhorket were found in forests and jungles across the eastern lands of Allansia and Khul, but had only rarely been encountered as they were extremely shy and nervous creatures, keeping to themselves as much as possible.
Further Notes[]
- Bhorket is both the single and plural form of their name.
