Biology:
These ferocious carnivores command the apex of Esogarag II's intricate food chain, a reign unchallenged for countless millennia. Distinctive markers include their four prominent eyes, formidable fangs, and razor-sharp talons. Their keen eyesight and acute olfactory senses contribute to their prowess as consummate hunters, solidifying their role as dominant predators.
History:
The curtain of obscurity surrounding the Thanavarians was lifted a few centuries ago when a group of ill-fated smugglers crash-landed on Esogarag. Stranded amidst the dense jungle, their attempt to erect a distress beacon was met with a chilling confrontation: a relentless pack of Thanavarians. Swift and merciless, the predators swiftly decimated the intruders, leaving only a solitary survivor to recount a harrowing tale of nocturnal terror.
News of this aggressive and fearsome species traversed the stars, igniting intrigue from potential hunters, collectors, and adventurers from disparate corners of the galaxy. Their rarity, combined with the exotic thrill of encountering such beasts, spurred fervent quests to acquire them as trophies and pets. The lure extended beyond the thrill of the hunt; Thanavarians became coveted trophies, both living and preserved.
The subsequent years witnessed the Thanavarians transform into a prize of remarkable prestige and sought-after distinction. These majestic creatures, once the lords of Esogarag's shadows, found themselves thrust onto grander stages. From the blood-soaked sands of gladiatorial arenas to the opulent floors of crystal-adorned palaces, ownership of a live Thanavarian became a hallmark of opulence and authority, signifying immense wealth and influence.
Among the notable figures who have claimed dominion over these creatures is the notorious Crime-Lord, Urgo. Through the expertise of a skilled beast master, Urgo succeeded in taming two formidable females, harnessing their primal prowess for purposes of intimidation and security.
