Behavior
Watoadzards are plant-eating creatures, that feed primarily on aquatic plants. They live in borrows located underground, whose entrance is located in a swamp, pond or other water body. Watoadzards spend most of the time in the burrow, except when going out to eat. Sometimes, homeless Watoadzards will try to take the burrows of other individuals, fighting them with their tusks. The winner of the battle will live in the burrow, while the loser will have to look for another one. When mating, Watoadzards couples will live in a same burrow, leaving an empty home for wandering individuals.
