Gowlur

 

Description

The Gowlur’s are a hulking breed of monkey that range in size from four feet to a rumored twelve feet. Just like their varieing heights, the Gowlur has a wide range of weights ranging from 200 pounds to upwards of almost 2000 pounds. Gowlur’s tend to have long arms and legs while their body and head often take on most of their bulk. Pelts of a Gowlur bear a wide variety of colors ranging from Red, Blue, Green, Black, and rarely White. Some of the most defining features of the Gowlur are it’s protruding face and lack of a tail. These creatures are not friendly by any means, and are a true embodiment of the wild. 

 

Discovery

As the orcs began to flee from the Arcas to the jungles of [Nuu'Plaz], they soon found the jungles already belonged to a more ferocious inhabitant. Within a few day’s the orcish camps began to report screams that’d chill the spine of any uruk, man, elf, or dwarf. The screams belonged to that of the Gowlur’s, and as time went on the Gowlur’s screams were soon joined by those of an orcish origin.

 

Behavior

Within the jungles of [Nuu'Plaz] Gowlur’s can often be seen stalking, sleeping, and climbing around in search of their food. Often sitting at the tops of the massive trees within the jungle, Gowlur’s rely on their eye sight for the majority of their actions. Being omnivores the Gowlur tends to prefer eating plants, but when their farseeing eyes cannot find any they turn to more ferocious ways to feed. Should one encounter a hungry Gowlur they’d quickly be met with the scream that has terrorized orcish camps since their first few day’s in [Nuu'Plaz]. Following the scream would be the presentation of the Gowlur’s set of fangs ranging in size from 1-6 inches. 

 

Lifespan

Gowlur’s can live from anywhere between 100-150 years old though once a Gowlur reaches the ripe age of 100, their ability to climb quickly begins to falter. 

 

 

Bub’Gow 

The descendants that fear orcs often tell tales of their Ologs, the massive creatures that are capable of striking fear into anyone. But within the Eternal Uzg lies a folk tale of a legendary breed of Gowlur known as the Bub’Gow. Stories say that the Bub’Gow stalk their prey for days, torturing them with their screams until the time to strike is ideal. Screams of a Bub’Gow are often heard, shaking the earth and soul of every living thing within the jungles of [Nuu'Plaz], but no one has ever seen one….

Nub’Gow

Known for its terrorizing of orcish camps, the Nub’Gow is the most common of the Gowlur species. Unlike its mythical brother, the Nub’Gow species tends to roam in packs of 3-5. Like wolves these packs of Gowlur’s have an alpha, and in dire times the alpha has been know to sacrifice itself for the pack. The scream of a Nub’Gow is higher pitched than that of a Bub’Gow, and it’s movements are noticeably faster.

Mini’Gow

Found within the caves of the [Nuu'Plaz]’s jungles, is the rabid Gowlur known as the Mini’Gow. Tiny but mighty, this species of Gowlur thrives in the dark finding and eating all forms of life within their caves. Mini’Gow are known to have anywhere between 1-12 within their packs in a cave. The scream they offer is the most high pitched, and when multiple scream at once in close proximity orcs have been known to go deaf.

‘Tameability’

On the rare chance you survive an encounter with a Gowlur the ability to tame them is possible. Should the eyesight of the Gowlur disappear, so would it’s ability to function on its own. Through persistence you can become the ‘eyes’ of the Gowlur, but should you become the eyes, it’s hands and feet become yours. Being mounted on a Gowlur, you cannot not do anything other than guide the blinded creature. Should you start doing another action aside from talking on the back of this monkey you may quickly be dismounted without warning. 

 

Taming/Mount Redlines:

• Requires the creature be blinded temporarily or permanently

• Cannot do any combat or non-combat actions while mounted and moving besides talking.

• If stationary you can do non-combat emotes without worry.

• Will not kill or harm for its rider, but can pin players down, if rider dismounts Gowlur releases the player 

• Can’t do anything on its own beside non-combat emotes when blinded without a mounted rider

• Will flee from/attack rider and all other players if sight is regained

• Can only be tamed through roleplay in an event

 

Mechanics:

Can be represented using a horse or item given by ET. Role played through environmental emotes not as a playable character.
