Caragor (kærəgɔ)

The common Caragor is vicious, disgusting, and a relentless killing machine. It is native to Mezia, and the realm's top predator. Their powerful legs make them excellent sprinters and fair climbers. Their jaws are powerful enough to snap through bones and cut through all manner of armour. They attack and kill any competing predator, such as Wargs, on sight.   Mezians have begun to capture and cage these animals, although their attempts to domesticate them as cavalry mounts have been largely unsuccessful. The Caragor has proven remarkably stubborn and resistant to training.   Mezia's fiercest hunters, Caragors prowl in small packs, seeking everything from humans to fädrygs to consume. They prefer to pounce on their enemies, then clamp down with a bite from their massive jaws. worrying their prey like a ragdoll until dead. Caragors are also fast runners and adept climbers, capable of scaling sheet cliffs in search of prey. Almost suicidally brave, they rarely leave combat until they or their prey are dead.
