Tusha

Diet: Herbivore
Danger Level: 9
Social Ability: 9
Information: A four-armed bear with an herbivore diet. Its head is its smallest physical feature, which is believed to be more of a defensive evolution. Drawings and photographs of skulls show that there is only an eighth of an inch of bone protecting the brain. As thin as it is, the density of the bone is reported to be the same as any other bone in its body. Its largest feature by far is its outer paws, possibly second only to its feet.

It’s diet is primarily fruits and berries, but it has been known to nibble on a few tree nuts every now and again. If nothing is found in the area, it will use its smaller paws to dig up roots and vegetables to eat.

Unlike most bears, it is aqua phobic. During rain storms, it will seek an open cave in a mad panic to escape. Once under shelter, it will not leave until the rain stops.

It has been observed that this creature will attack without hesitation if awoken from sleep. Loud sounds that startle it from sleep often result in accidental fights in family groups. When provoked by another creature, it will use its large claws to insure a deep wound into the offender. If not treated, they will bleed to death.
