Description (Initial Observations): The horl choo is an odd black plant that looks like a lumpy porcupine with long quills, about a meter in diameter with quills about a meter long, it's also known as the 'spiny' or 'spear-thrower' plant. It can move with a slow, shuffling motion and usually does so only at night, seeking better hunting grounds. Although it has no visible eyes or ears, a horl choo can sense heat (notably body heat) and has a rudimentary sense of touch (but no other senses).
Behavior & Society
- Reactions
- No known interactions
- Behavior
- Bufs are extremely stubborn, mercenary in all their dealings, and not to be trusted unless the financial aspects of the dea are worked out in their favor in advance. Bofs develop family units they call herds, of an alpha male, and 4 to 5 beta males. The herd will then consist of a couple dozen females and their young. Young males, who are kicked out of their herd sell their services until they are old and experienced enough to attract females and start their own herds. A bof may show loyalty to an individual who has saved his life; this will override all thoughts on double crossing the person that saved them.
