Species Information
A Tarren's appearance and behavior is like a cat, but they are more closely related to canines. Tarren have sharp teeth for tearing flesh. Though their diet consists of mostly meat they have a distinct liking to fruit and fish of all types. After every meal Tarren clean themselves up by licking their coat to keep it shiny and clean. Their saliva contains a type of water proofing oil that protects their coat and keeps them from getting excessively wet in the rain. Tarren have been known to avoid water. A Tarren could potentially drown when swimming for to long due to their thick fur. This doesn't mean Tarren stay away from water entirely, they are often soaking in the shallows to cool off. Once the environment cools off the fur grows a type of undercoat to keep the Tarren warm. They are usually very fluffy during this time.
Tarren are surprisingly social living in groups up to 10-30 members. These groups are called Gangs. When a gang of Tarren run into another gang they normally have very little conflict and are happy to share with one another. When hunting, the gang will work together to bring the down the prey then share the food among the group. They hunt in the morning when it's cool and will travel up to 20 miles tracking or chasing down their prey. Tarren have four eyes which aid in hunting. The eyes can not move individually on their own, instead, much like canine eyes they move together. Tarren see in color and can detect movement from a mile away. In addition they have extraordinarily large ears with excellent hearing. They can hear cries from one of their own kind from 5 miles away. Most old Tarren lose their eyesight, once this happens they use echolocation in order to get around.
When Tarren are born, they have thick wiry hair down their backs. As they get older this hair falls off. Vixens (female tarren) can have up to 24 skimps (babies) in their life time, usually having 1-3 skimps per breeding. Brutes (male tarren) can breed 8 times in their lives. Some Tarren mate for life but most do not.
