Appearance:

It’s long, shaggy coat of thick fibrous hairs both insulate and regulate body temperature. Every Yarofko has it’s own signature markings, that differentiate itself from every other specimen. They have a set of four, foot-long tusks protruding from their large mouth. Their feet are cloven hooves. Their fur colors range from milky white to charcoal black. Their special markings are always a bright color such as green, red, blue, or yellow.

Habitat:

It can thrive in all forms of climate, barring perhaps a dry desert. It will have difficulty surviving travel without a ready supply of water.

Lifespan and Development:

0-140 trials for piglet stage, 140 trials - 2 arc for the juvenile stage, achieving maturation at the age of 2 arcs, roughly. It grows the first small tusks at juvenile stage, and has a fully grown coat with an elaborate pattern of blue or red fur somewhere on its hide. It reaches old age at about 15 arcs.

Uses:

It’s good for carrying extremely heavy loads and riders. It has a proclivity for bursts of speed, for cavalry charges and the like, but doesn’t sustain that speed over distances longer than about a mile.

Temperament:

It’s friendly toward its bonded trainer or rider. Highly intelligent, it will retain its disposition toward individuals, recalling them by scent.

Abilities/Tricks:

Super fast charging speed, with a great deal of momentum on their side. Their tusks are deadly.

Information:

Very tidy animals, all things considered. It will rarely defecate where it eats, and requires lots of fresh air and exercise to keep it happy.
