Creature:Bunyip

Bunyips are creatures that are found throughout the waterways of. They are the self-proclaimed protectors of these waterways, and often do not let other sapient creatures in without their permission.

Physiology
Bunyips are often described as looking like across between a gorilla and a crocodile. They are large and immensely strong, with sharp claws and teeth that they use to battle others. They sometimes posses source powers, but they often have to do with manipulating the environment to attack their enemies or to catch prey. They also are known for their sheer physical endurance, often fighting with injuries that would kill other creatures. They also have good natural healing abilities.

Behavior
Bunyips are extremely protective of the areas they live in, often fighting to the death to protect them. However, they can also be quite greedy, and can often be bribed with money, large amounts of food, or weapons. While they normally shun most non Bunyips, they form great bonds with people who help them.
