Dietary Needs and Habits

The uth'ong eat a diet of fish primarily, but they clean their palettes with vegetables.

Additional Information

Domestication

The uth'ong is rather difficult to tame, but it is doable. One is required to give them time and space, and when they are affectionate... do not hesitate to help them.

Uses, Products & Exploitation

They can be used as a fishing companion, and they also can be made to provide spools of their 'silk'.

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

The uth'ong are gifted with the same abilities as tigers, but as they have 2 additional pairs of legs, they can run faster, and their silk-production gland can shoot silk to bind up fish.
