Crocabearamoose[edit]
"A crocodilian beast as large as a bear, but with sharpened antlers that can rip and tear, The Crocabearamoose is the most fearsome creature I have ever beheld!" - Farmer Ben
Physical Description[edit]
From a distance, one might mistake the Crocabearmoose for an ordinary bear, but up close, the differences are unmistakable. While most of the body and torsos of these beasts is covered in bear-like fur, the faces and jaws of these creatures are scaled and crocodilian in appearance. On top of their heads, they possess a set of antlers which they can use to defend themselves in close combat, and their hind legs are hooved like a moose, while their front limbs are clawed and more bearlike in appearance.
Society[edit]
As a nomadic species, Crocabearamooses are relatively solitary creatures, but can take partners and will usually take care of their offspring until they mature. They are neither a patriarchy nor a matriarchy, with neither sex being seen as superior to the other. Usually, Crocabearmooses will live alone or in small family groups, and no known Crocabearmoose settlements have ever been established.
History[edit]
Not much is known about where The Crocabearamoose came from. There is very little evidence of any creature evolving into what is now known as Crocabearamooses, so it is unlikely that they are a natural occurrence.
Attitudes and Beliefs[edit]
If there is a higher power, The Crocabearamoose doesn't particularly care.
Diet[edit]
Possessing various body parts from multiple different kinds of creatures, Crocabearamooses are omnivores. Individuals will choose if they want to be strictly carnivorous or herbivorous. They can be both hunters and gatherers, but tend to choose one.
Language[edit]
While they physically can't speak common, since they have a crocodile mouth and jaw, they aren't exactly constricted to sounds that crocodiles make. A Crocabearamoose can also make the noises of a bear and a moose. As such, their voices can range from the growl of a bear, the hiss of an alligator, or the bellow of a moose. However, none of this is used to communicate. As with most animals, Crocabearamooses use body language to let their intentions be known.

Crocabearamoose Subraces[edit]
Exactly how much like a Crocodile, Bear, or Moose these beasts are varies greatly on the individual specimen.
