Physiology

Karngan are eight-metre long animals with thick, short legs. They can weigh six tonnes and be two and a half metres tall at the shoulder.

Attached to the back of the skull is a bony frill, covered with downy brown fur. In males, this fur is lost as they become adults, but it remains on females all their life. On the front of the skull is a muscular trunk, ending in a pair of shearing claws used for picking up ground plants.

Behaviour

While not very intelligent, the Karngan move in herds. They rear up on their hind legs and knock down trees to get at the smaller plants around their bases, which they are adapted to eat. Through this method, large clearings are maintained in the Montgar taiga.
