/eh- neh/
noun
noun: Ené; plural noun: Enés1. a large, heavy, mammal that is closely related to
bears and dogs; with a straighter walking pattern
and a spine structure to more resemble canines.
xxx Welcome to the Four Quarters Realm, a planet which is split into four pieces due to mountain ranges never crossed by man. In this world people live among the many creatures that roam through four vastly different environments. From the large, to the small, the inhabitants of this realm have used the Enés as transportation since the beginning of time.
- xxxThese Enés are large beasts or burden, though not as strong as your modern ox or horse like we know. They are most commonly used as transportation, singularly carrying a rider on its back with the help of a saddle. Because of the massive demand for Enés in the past, they run wild now, found in every biome (some more commonly than others). Given enough time and care, anyone can tame a wild Ené.
xxxThey have large paws built more for exposure to rough terrain, the pads almost being compared to a hoof. Equipped with shorter, thick claws, Enés are able to use them for marking trees, fighting, and gathering materials (with enough time and effort, Enés can be trained to use their claws for such purposes). They wear a large ring of fur around their shoulders, going up to the back of their head just between the ears. This fur can be shaved down, but it isn't recommended due to the safety of the animal. The fur provides protection and support to the organs around the chest. Without it, they are also unable to mate though natural courting methods. They also have the ability to stand on their hind legs in order to reach high places, and use it as an intimidation factor and advantage point when fighting.
xxxThey feed off of large mammals found in the wild if they have access to it. If there is nothing around, they instead can live off of certain grasses, berries, nuts, ferns, and smaller animals such as squirrels. Trainers often feed their tamed Ené man-made pellets or dried rodents.
Taming an Ené
xxxEnés found in the wild are not tamed,and will appear to you without a saddle. Those who want them as their own must be able to tame them themselves. To do this, you can preform an action on the wild Ené every X amount of time. The specific adopt will specify the time limit in which you can try again, and what actions you can take.
xxxOnce tamed, the rider is able to equip them with a saddle and form a bond with them that lasts a lifetime. You can customize the saddle hidden on another few layers once you are added to the lines, in which you have full creative freedom. The entire saddle can be redesigned if you like, but it must have one.
