Resogon

"If it looks like a bear and smells like a bear, but is bigger, faster, stronger, and you're already dead, that's a Resogon."
Mor Natar Beast-Seeker about basic Resogon facts.


Ruthless mamalian monster exclusive to the depth of the Fana Forest, where they rule as Apex predator. They live deep in the woods where they can find plenty of honey, fishes and large predators to predate on. They have long hibernation periods which reduces their threats.   They share traits with regular bears and badgers, but have altogether different behaviors and aspect. Their long thick fur, gigantic mouth and two pairs of nostrils make them distinct. A Resogon looking for food outside the forest is the gravest threat a village can encounter, outside war of course.

Basic Information

Anatomy

The Resogon is the large four-limbed mammal, reaching as high as 6 meters while standing, and 3.4 meters on all four. They have five fingers: three in the middle posessing large thick claws to attack prey and grab on to trees, the two opposite fingers presenting thinner claws and enable softer movements. Most of the hands consists of their claws. The membrane over their teeth is made of thin black flash sensitive to the environnement. By retracting their cheeks they can become more aware of their surroundings and pick up vibrations that do not match normal jungle sounds.

Genetics and Reproduction

While Resogon are soitary ad territorials, there comes periods in late summer whare they move to the borders of their territories to call for a mate in another territory. They use the sound their large mouths and powerful vocal cords can produce to mark their intent. They repeat the call from every extremities of the land they mark as theirs and when a mate answers with the same tone, they walk towards each other with the same tone. Once together, they immediately mate. Once the action subsides, they can begin to patrol their shared territories together, or go back to their own and find other mates.
