Gorog
Gorogs are perhaps the largest and most fearsome predators in the galaxy. Standing at full height, they are around twenty to twenty-two meters tall, and weigh anywhere between nine to ten thousand kilograms. These powerful beasts are mammals with hardened carapaces which encase much of their forearms, shoulders, and backs. They have a common stance that resembles Kowakan lizard monkeys, as they often sit on their hind legs while propping themselves upright with their massive arms. Despite these ape-like tendencies, their skin is thick and leathery, clearly built for combat. Additionally, they have four large tusks which protrude from their chin. The creatures originated on the planet Cato Neimoidia many millennia ago, and were the apex predators of the planet. Their diet was mostly carnivorous, though they were known to pick their teeth with small trees on occasion. They would eat essentially any creature they could get their hands on, primarily Loros, Treveels, and Turfjumpers.
In the early days of Neimodian society, the tribespeople of the planet believed that the Gorogs were demons, sent to punish people for their sins.
Breeding. In the wild, male and female Gorogs mate by getting into a vicious fight. Should the male succeed in defeating the female, she allows him to mate with her. Upon doing so, there is a high chance of pregnancy. Gorogs will carry their infants in the womb for two years before giving live birth. Their pregnancy will never be to more than one Gorog at a time. Most female Gorogs will mate between five to eight times throughout their life, and with many different partners. Gorogs tend to travel alone, and upon a young Gorog's birth, their mothers will immediately abandon them to fend for themselves.
Communication. No one knows exactly how Gorogs communicate, but most experts believe it does not through roars. Many in the zoologist community believe it primarily speaks to others through gestures and body language. Things such as slapping itself, and making odd movements are usually signals to others of it's kind.
Strengths. The Gorog is one of the physically largest of mammalian land animals in the galaxy, if not the largest. It only pales in comparison to the likes of the Zillow beast. The Gorog has powerful muscles which allow it to effectivly wrestle and fight others of it's kind. It is also capable of killing a rancor in a single blow. Many Gorogs are capable of fighting for long periods of time, even if one of their appendages has been greatly damaged.
Weaknesses. Gorogs are not very intelligent creatures, and usually have quite primitive tactics in combat. They are also capable of taking damage from most blaster weaponry, as well as electrical attacks, and lightsabers. Though their huge size does help them resist some of the pain.
Temperament. Most Gorogs are in a state of constant anger and are extremely territorial, especially male Gorogs. They hate captivity, and don't do well as pets or even pit beasts, as they may try to eat the crowds.
Intent. To bring a popular creature from legends into the site's fannon.
