The creature is commonly referred to as a "Burrowbulb" though it has a scientific name [color=B8E0D2][i][Sphaerosquamatus rodentus][/i][/color] which means "Round-scaled rodent" or the native name [color=B8E0D2]Kul’zarna[/color] which translates to "The Rolling Beast of Earth" and all of these names reference the creature's fantastical ability to burrow into the earth with ease because of their front and hind claws that are made for burrowing large tunnels. 

These creatures can get up to 500 pounds. 

They can have litters up to 12 pups. 

They are family orientated and tend to roam in groups of twelve to thirty-six with a focus on matriarchs. 

Tamed Burrowbulbs tend to be in cavern farms where they are raised for meat and their scales/hide can be used for armor, tools, and similar items. These individuals are dangerous because of their size and aggressive properties in captivity. 

Wild Burrowbulbs are not known to be aggressive and tend to be very sociable. These occurrences of friendly socialization have been reported more by the Drovalari [Burrowers] then the researchers of Dominion. The nomadic Drovalari have used these creatures as guides through the caverns and their tunnels are used as routes by the native people.

This is one of the most common predators that can be found in the caverns and they can be very dangerous. A singular Duskhound can easily end a group of people and they typically roam in familial packs of 3 - 5, sometimes more and sometimes less. They are commonly known as Duskhounds with a scientific name [color=B8E0D2][i][Crepusculus canis][/i][/color] which translates to "Twilight Dog". Natives refer to them as [b]Vashdrekaz[/b] and that translates into "Shadow/dusk hunting beast/hidden stalker" since the Drovalen’zan language lacks the official term "hound/dog" in it. 

These beasts tend to stand in between 3.5' and 4.5' at the shoulder and can weigh up to 180 pounds. These are not known for their sight though they have fantastic evolutionary traits that help them detect prey. They have whiskers on their face that help them feel the electromagnetic pulses which is why they can partially see in infrared, they have an amazing sense of smell, and it is believed that with how their ears are structured that they can determine where the smallest of sounds are coming from.

They have a terrifying [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQaSRKP8Dho]laugh[/url] that they use to hunt prey. 

A typical breeding pair of Duskhounds have two pups every 18-30 months though there have been cases where a breeding pair can have up to 5 pups in a single litter.
