Tom Fowler While their metallic hides and sharp, canine features can make them look vicious, rasclinns are actually herbivores and will only fight when directly attacked and cornered, especially if their packmates or non-armored pups are targeted. If possible, they will prefer to use their agility to lose predators, sentient or otherwise, on chases across their desert habitats. It is from those biomes the rasclinn develop their metallic coats, each as tough as a suit of plate armor, as they mature by extracting trace metals from the arid foliage they consume and processing it into their tissues. Where they developed their innate psionic defenses and offenses is more of a mystery, but they do make rasclinns both harder to corner and capture. That doesn't stop some foolish hunters from trying to make particularly tough hide armor, but even those that are successful discover without a living rasclinn feeding their unique biology, the metal that coats them quickly turns soft. Rasclinn usually graze in packs of five to twelve, plus their young.
