Zwedar
Overview
Shaped curiously, Zwedar do look as if they can barely move. And often they don’t move. Standing stock still in the day and moving only at night. Their lower nutrient diet may be the cause of this weird ability to stand still. Conserving what energy they can by existing in a half sleep half alert state. The bones in their legs locking to prevent the Zwedar from falling over. The legs of Zwedar are deceiving. What looks like an awkward radius/tibia that's far too long is actually two. The leg does bend in the middle on a hidden joint. Just why the joint is hidden is anyone's guess. Nocturnal, Zwedar like to graze on bushes and low shrub. Taking advantage of plants that flower solely under moonlight. The rock hard shell only opening at night. Yet of course, if they stumble upon a Djargeyrs nest. They will consume the whelps if any are present.
Temperment
Their temperments change come day and change come night. Still and unmoving during the day. A presence that watches as it sleeps. Bolting to life should danger draw near. Bold they seem to be, bold and almost mocking with how still they stand. And come night do they spring back to life. Yet that boldness is lacking. Gone. Replaced with caution and a need for stealth. Since standing still with their coloration may aid in stationary camoflauge. But when moving the illusion tends to fall away. Leading them to stalk around and ever be cautious about their presence in the mire.
Life Cycle
Having litters of 2-7. The numbers vary wildly. And unlike mature individuals, the temperments of Zwedar young are explorative and restless. Clinging to their parents and refusing to move too far away from them. Yet the shadow under the water striketh, Djargeyr take advantage of this restlessness and hunt the young. And often are successful in annihilating whole litters. Driving Zwedar to breed often to keep their numbers up.
