Greatfang

This predator inhabits the tundra and taiga of Northern Gorgamelle. The Greatfang once roamed more temperate climes as well, but it has been hunted to extinction there, and even in the north they have become wary of humans. At first glance, the Greatfang appears almost comically overbuilt. It has heavy muscled shoulders and a large head dominated by two enormous protruding fangs. These are the two front upper teeth, which curve down and join to make a formidable slashing weapon. These terrible teeth allow the Greatfang to hunt the mighty Wurundor, its usual prey. Greatfangs hunt in small packs, darting in to deliver slashing wounds which cripple and eventually bring down their great opponent. Greatfangs are darkish grey, and their heavy forequarters are further emphasised by a black mane that cascades over their shoulders and down the upper part of their back. Although Greatfang packs follow the Wurundor, they are not above feeding on smaller prey, and their heavily taloned forepaws are almost as deadly as their bite. Greatfang pelts are highly coveted by the northern tribes, but only the hardiest hunters stalk them, since few can survive even their initial onslaught.
