Qutrub

Qutrubs, also known as grave-dogs, are canine creatures that are primarily scavengers. They tend to hang around graveyards, battlefields, and other places with a lot of corpses.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Qutrubs are quadrupedal, covered in fur, and have sharp teeth. The bite of a qutrub can cause necrosis. Qutrubs also have incredible immune systems, and as such, are nearly immune to almost all diseases. When a qutrub opens its mouth, a black vapor will waft out, which increases in volume if the qutrub is stressed. Many people believe that this vapor has something to do with the qutrub's necrotic bite but in fact, the vapor is completely harmless.

Genetics and Reproduction

Qutrubs reproduce sexually, and are viviparous. Their gestation period is three months. Qutrubs are typically born in litters of one to four at a time.

Ecology and Habitats

Qutrubs generally live in deserts, and have a high heat tolerance.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Qutrubs are carnivorous, and are somewhat adaptable. They are generally scavengers, and will typically only attack people when threatened or on the brink of starvation.
