Region: Fire Plains (volcanic, hot)
Targ Type: Ash Targ
Description: The Ash Targ is larger and more muscular than other breeds, adapted for survival in the volcanic Fire Plains. These targs have dark, soot-colored fur helping them blend into the ash-covered ground. Their sparse fur prevents them from overheating in the intense heat of the region. Their skin and hooves are thicker and more heat-resistant, allowing them to traverse molten rock and volcanic soil. The Ash Targ’s lungs are uniquely adapted to filter out ash and dust, enabling them to breathe in areas where the air is thick with volcanic debris. Due to the aggressive and competitive nature of the Fire Plains, these targs are more hostile and territorial. They are known for their ferocity and strength, using their large tusks to fight off predators and defend their volcanic home.
