LORE

Thace Rippers are a carnivorous species that live in all climates. Scientists with the help of animal rights activists came across this species when word that a native species was being wiped out. The locals that lived there called Thace Rippers "Gator Maws" and worshiped them as gods. Thace Rippers are normally aggressive and wary of strangers, but have been known to befriend some of the locals and watch over them. Their are incredibly strong and are able to hold their own in a fight. It has been said it took 7 locals to take down a Thace Ripper that was causing problems in a near by hunting ground. They prey on rabbits and larger animals, and generally live in a pack of 2-4. They weigh 500 pounds as a female and 750 as a male. Their poison sacks hold properties similar to acid that melt and rot away anything it touches. Their gel sacks on their back are harvestable and are used as cures for wounds inflicted by the poison (if treated within the first 30 minuets of exposure). Many Thace Rippers are being tamed in the region and are being used as watchdogs, hunters and medicinal aids.

QUICK NOTES

-- gel sacks are the bumps on the sides of the back and contain agents that help remove effects of a TR's poison
-- poison sacks are the neck belly, tail and cheek sacks that contain a potent poison used for defense
-- a tr can expand the bump on their neck to seem bigger
-- harvesting a TR's gel sacks does not hurt the TR,, they grow back and if they grow too large in the wild they fall off.
-- a tr can spit poison 15 feet and are accurate in hitting their targets
-- TR "trust" is how much a TR trusts you, all TR's start at 0 trust and you the user must get them to trust you
-- TR "Taming level" is how much experience you the user has to tame TR's. The higher the level the better the TR you can tame.
-- the frills on the tr's head aid in hearing and prey detection, the larger the frills the older the TR
-- Tr's can live to be 100 years
-- TR's live in all climates but do not depend on human support,, tamed Tr's become companions
-- Tr's have 4 heat sensors on the bridge of their muzzle that aids in prey detection and pack finding

HOW TO ADOPT

-- when a tr is posted they have 0 trust,, each attempt you make to gain their trust gives you 1-5 trust.
-- be the first user to reach 10 trust to take them home,, users who are 3 or more trust behind you can gain scrap or another tr
-- once you get a TR they have [10/1000] trust,, once they hit 500 trust they gain a bonus
-- taming experience is a way to tell if your ready to take on a higher level TR. Taming level 1 users can get level 1 and level 2 tr.

-- when you hit [2000/5000] tr you are at taming level 3 and can access level 3 tr and own up to 50.
-- at level 4 [3000/5000] you can tame/access level 4 tr,, and level 5 [4000/5000] you can access level 5 tr
-- at level 6 [max] [5000/5000] you can own unlimited tr and access level 6 tr available in events.
-- treats from the shop can be used to increase taming and get you your tr faster.
-- once you tame a TR you must level it to 500 to breed them
