Juktarr - Revision history

Nasuella: A little while after I redid this, it occurred to me that having a cart, carriage, etc. be pulled by a creature with a spiked club on the end of its tail might not be very smart.

Nasuella: Redid the sarrakko, so I'll redo this one.

The juktarr is a large beast, resembling the prehistoric Earth beast, the Stegosaurus. It is quadruped, the size of a truck, with powerful limbs and a small head. Decorating its back are large plates, in two slightly random rows. On its tail are four sharp spikes. They are generally a mottled brown/orange colour.

They live and wander in small herds, so they're not the easiest prey to catch. Add the fact that they tend to work together to fend off predators, and they are *very* dangerous. Even then, they aren't the most intelligent of creatures. In some regards, they're like horses: They can be used for work, but they're easily frightened.

	Juktarrs lead a semi-solitary lifestyle; though they generally keep to themselves, small groups of grown juktarrs aren't unheard of. In addition, young ones from the same clutch of eggs stay together as a herd until they have matured. (Each female lays about twenty or so eggs.) Come mating season, the males will fight over mating rights, and usually do so by smashing their head into the other's head until one gives up (or dies).

−	In the past the juktarr was used as a beast of burden and as a warmount. Though slow, they were said to be quite intimidating to those who did not know how to fight them. In modern times they still see use as ~~harness animals and~~ pack animals.	+	In the past the juktarr was used as a beast of burden and as a warmount.

+The juktarr is a large quadrapedal reptile which resembles the thyreophorans (armoured herbivorous dinosaurs) of prehistoric Earth. This herbivore is heavily built, covered in thick hide and bony plates, with horns coming out of its heavily armoured skull and a tail ending in a "spiked club". A fully-grown juktarr stands at 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) tall at the shoulder. They come in varying shades of brown and grey, but always have a mottled pattern.
