Dhole (dole)

The dhole is a two legged, avian creature with a feathered tail and strong yet thin legs that lead up to a streamlined body. They have thick short necks that can be extended when needed. Their eyes rest upon a crest with a sizeable beak.
Though carnivores, they are peaceful and relatively gentle creatures that only grow aggressive when protecting their young. Along with this, they are surprisingly trustworthy, allowing many to tame them easily as long as said tamer is patient. They are a hardy creature, though used more during the ages before speeders. During the height of their use, they were used by nomads. Though slow, they could tackle dozens of miles without food and water and survive extreme temperatures, making them into a popular cart puller. Now, they are typically raised as simple farm animals for their feathers and eggs or left to roam the desert wilderness in peace.
