Fartugs

Fartugs are a type of creature that live on Trias, on the Planet of Legends.

Appearance
Fartugs are squarish box-like creatures with short hind limbs and short front limbs that end in black claws. They are usually purple or greenish of flesh, often appearing with ragged gray and brown fur; however other colors are not uncommon. Jason compared them to "furry toasters".

Size
They are roughly the size of a breadbox, and are noted in Orphan Quest to be "a foot and a half".

Psychological Characteristics
Afraid of everything larger than themselves except horses and deer, which are their dietary staples. They have a special enmity for centaurs and pejasi. Fartugs communicate through grunts and snorts.

Habitat
As far as anyone knows, they are exclusive to the Pineapple Forest on Trias, staying within the deeper parts. During Orphan Quest, when the party encountered a group of fartugs, Razen noted his surprise to find the creatures "this far east".

Diet
Fartugs are carnivores, and eat horses and deer exclusively.

Abilties
For whatever reason, their blood is acidic enough to wilt grass.

First Appearance
Fartugs first appeared as minor antagonists in Orphan Quest, Bookworld Series Volume I when they attacked Jason and his companions.
