Creature:Fereydoon

A Fereydoon is a Rogue-class creature bearing an uncanny resemblance to the video-game character whom it is named after and based on. Powerful and aggressive, they should be treated with utmost respect at all times.

Biological Description
Fereydoon are carnivorous placental mammals, having black fur covering most of their body; however, their faces and a patch on their chest are hairless, the hair on their heads is silvery-gray, and they sport blue stripes on their bodies. Their waist and wrists are protected by highly complex, bony structures.

In spite of their rather misleading feet, they can dance excellently, and their pose if higher than one would expect as well. Their sing is decent, and their charm is unbeatable.

It was believed for a long time that they were egg-layers; however, this is not the case. They occasionally collect other creatures' eggs and store them in their nests, leading to this misconception. While many claim to have witnessed them laying an egg, this is also not true. Since their golden eyes can induce hallucinations in anything that looks directly into them, it is common for creatures to misconceive such an event taking place, when in reality the creatures are viviparous.

Females grow larger than males, so if you encounter a large Rogue, it's probably a female, and if it's a small Rogue, it's probably a male. Likewise, the Alpha creatures at the very rare nests of this species are females. Some females possess a rare recessive trait that causes them to grow to enormous proportions; if this happens, the creature will probably wipe out its entire species. If you are lucky enough to find a surviving normal-sized one should this be the case, befriending it should make the larger one like you better.
