  Markings:
  See above.
  
  Speech: Feral, with limited knowledge of the common language learned from mimicking birds. While he's capable of learning to speak fluently to communicate in the language, right now he only knows a few hoarse phrases and sentences. Those refined in telepathy or animal communication would have an easier time making conversation.
  
  Temperament: Sly, cunning, often feigns innocence, pretends to be less intelligent to gather information, stealthy, oddly protective of smallish critters, brutish yet docile, tries to be charming, greedy, manic, unpredictable at times
  
  Strengths: Puar plays mind games to an extent. It never says too much around others, even those it's most comfortable with, and keeps the good stuff to it's self. It enjoys coming across as slow, perhaps even borderline idiotic to those it does not know in order to properly assess it's company. Nothing brings Puar better joy than to know it's enemies are underestimating it's potential opponent, leaving it with the element of surprise when the time calls for it. It may drawl it's words, give an occasional inappropriate chuckle or cackle, or even feign clumsiness if the situation calls for it. Underneath it's excellent charade, Puar is fully capable of understanding what is going on around it. While it may all be an act, it doesn't mask the insanity that is genuine to it's character. Mood swings come and go, and ever so often it might start talking in third person. The hard part is determining when it's acting, and when Puar has temporarily misplaced it's mind.
  
  Puar is loyal to the bitter end. If it's superior ordered it to stand guard in a burning field to protect a bundle of pups, it will. Without hesitation. Puar asks no questions when given a task, and only needs to know the absolute necessary to get a job done. Of course it's curiosity would be running mad to know details, but that's what overhearing gossip is for. When you act like an idiot (or actually are one for the time being) others typically do not care what they let loose when confiding in those they trust; no one suspects the town fool to pick up on what you let slip right? And best believe if it serves it's interest, blackmail will typically follow. Or, if Puar happens to not like you, it'll seek out a superior and share the word. Call it a snitch, Puar considers it'self a mockingbird. Simply regurgitating things it hears.
  
  It's size makes it to be a great asset in war, it's nails a good accessory, and it's mind is used to having to adapt to different scenarios.
  
  Weaknesses: Well, with great brawn comes lack of technique, unfortunately. Puar knows the basics of survival and scrap fighting, but full blown battle tactics are not it's strong point. It does better being given a game plan than thinking one up on it's own during the heat of a fight more often times than not. The potential is there, but Puar would need guidance. A teacher of sorts.
  
  The whole skin disease thing can be a blessing and a curse. On the plus, it helps to mask scents around it's own body including other nearby wolves if their signature isn't more overbearing than the stench of death. On the flip side, when your skin has to potential to slide off like a wet band-aid, you would be facing more serious wounds and gashes than that of your properly skinned neighbor. While Puar does have an immune system to help it's body out, that doesn't mean the constant regeneration of skin and tissues doesn't take a toll on it's body. Puar can be left weak, immobile, and starved if it does not take care to supply it's self with ample food to help kickstart it's system.
  
  Puar's random insanity bursts can be detrimental at times. While, yes, it does enjoy ample mind games and screwing with others, sometimes Puar isn't joking around. For the most part, it's outbursts aren't considered severely dangerous, unless you categorize chewing on rocks as a nervous tick lethal. This can more hinder Puar than it can hurt, though with any mentally unstable individual the consequences can vary.
  
  Last Seen: This creature has last been seen scouring the woods of Peddler's Hollow, living off of tree bark and small game in the day time and snatching lambs from their pens in the silence of the night. It's the first town Puar has ever stumbled across; it's towering buildings seem to be keeping him at bay for now though the succulent stench of the sewers and trash from the butcher's business is sure to lure him in eventually. Will you approach him with cautious curiosity? Or try to shoo the behemoth off your property?
