Lump of Burden (Concept Art)
Added 2023-06-28 08:58:27 +0000 UTCPreliminary sketch for a riding/pack animal for the scrounger people. It's a species of shaggy, horned lump (name pending), basically a cross between an oxen and an elephant in terms of ecology, behaviour, and usage (exact details also pending).
Their intelligence makes them easy to train and command, and their large, robust build means they can carry or pull a lot of weight at once. Although it is not fast, it is a naturally durable long-distance trekker, able to travel many miles without rest. Their woolly fur-like sheddings are also collected as a basis for textiles.
