Gorf Kor

What? Did we lose a gorf? Who said we lost a gorf? We didn't lose a gorf. We just misplaced it temporarily.
~Libra Eugnot
Knowledge on Gorf Kors is limited due to being a newly “discovered” gorf variety. They do not glow like the popular Gorf Da'ot, and they can't live in water once they are fully mature. I am sure the Gorf Initiative the Libra are carrying out will find a good use for them…if they can find them.

Physical Features

All fully grown gorf kor have a few key things in common with each other.
  • Large eyes that are mostly pupil
  • Sturdy Shell they can fully retract into
  • Four toes on their front legs and three on their hind legs.
  • Thick, short tail that helps them balance to sit upright
  • Four sharp, venomous teeth for piercing and tearing.
  • long tongue that projects out quickly
Baby gorf kor are born with ear-holes, no shell, no teeth and mostly blind. They also are born without hind legs, but instead have a tail with eight micro-tails attached to the end. Despite looking like baby gorf da'ot, they do not glow like them.  

Not Supposed to be Wild

As far as anyone knows, Gorf Kor do not exist in the wild. However, the first gorf kor disappeared and was never recovered. Since then, they are occasionally found in the wild. They are superb at hiding, using their shell as a way to blend in with large rocks. Once, Libra Eugnot thought one escaped until a week later when he realized one of the rocks in his “harmony garden” moved across the yard. Even if a gorf kor is discovered, their shell is like built-in armor that is near impenetrable. They also weigh 3-4 times more than their gorf brethren, making them less desirable to predators. Once, during her lunch break, Brizlina of Fennec was almost killed when a gorf kor fell from the sky and almost landed on her head. Her lunch was not as lucky, as the gorf landed on top of it and broke her favorite picnic table. She assumes a large bird got tired of carrying the heavy burden.

If you see a gorf kor, please let the local authorities know! They belong back in Harmony!
