Mouthless Terror



"Mouthless Terror" is the nickname for the famed (and literally) mouthless wolf breed that roams in Dejar territory. They are much larger than normal wolves and have an odd blue color scheme. Their names are quite contradictory to their real behavior, however.

History
When the Dejars first came to Antarctica, their first "problem" was with getting over the odd looks of the animals that lived among them, one of them being a mouthless blue wolf. It was as tall as a person and looked ferocious enough at first - the blue wolf's strange traits led to the creation of some even stranger myths. The lack of mouths grew more opportunities, as the wolf's fur acted like a plant and used photosynthesis to get the food and nutrients the wolf needed.

One Dejar came up with the Mouthless Terror's name when they spotted one attacking a Kylet at night and driving it away simply by its stare, when really the Kylet attacked the Mouthless Terror first and the Mouthless Terror simply was defending itself.

Years later, Dejars began hunting Mouthless Terrors to the point of the disgusting discovery that their meat, although edible, had a terrible taste and was sometimes infected with fleas and other parasites. Mouthless Terrors are immune to poison or freezing as well as transmitted diseases since their fur is so thick, thus they may be carrying a handful of bugs without even knowing.

The Dejar's myths spread like wildfire and soon the Mouthless Terrors were being looked down on and trapped often to clean and sell their fur as coats. Mouthless Terrors couldn't cope with the cold after their fur was cut and thus many that were re-released to the wild died of the cold or of parasites.

Because of their cruel treatment, Mouthless Terrors are much less common than they are now, inching their way closer to extinction simply by a misconception of humanity.
