Tossrans

Tossrans (Tuwera forister) are huge herbivorous mammal-like-reptiles that are native to Toran. Their population is split into two main subspecies: forister aria and'' forister puchir. ''Aria Tossrans live to the south, mostly in the Great Southern Desert, The Far East or in the Kazahn Mountains. Their huge bodies carve their way through sand dunes creating temporary safe paths for travellers. Puchir Tossrans on the other hand, all live north of the Kazahns in the cold lands of the Grand Duchy of Kotlas. They create roads through the snow drifts useful for travellers and locals alike.

Biology and Behaviour
Tossrans are giant creatures. Puchir are the smaller of the two subspecies. Females can grow up to 4 metres tall at the shoulder and 6 metres long. They are thick furred and have a smaller second horn, though they lack the horny crest of their southern cousins. Aria Tossrans can grow up to 6 metres tall and 7 metres long. Again, the females are the larger sex. They have a single horn and a bony crest, which is for mating displays. At first glance they appear to lack hair, but at a close examination they have thin hair covering their scaly skin. Tossrans are warm blooded and give birth to live young but they do not have the maternal instinct and milk feeding of true mammals. Tossrans live in herds of around 20 individuals and migrate constantly in search of food. These herds are lead by a dominant female matriarch. Females mature at 3 years old and will then give birth to a Tissling annually for most of their 50 years life. Tisslings are weaned out of their mother's protection after just a year. Tossrans are herbivores who feed on mostly pine trees, deciduous trees and ferns. Their only natural predators are Nooches, bears and occasionally humans.
