Goskogur

The Goskogur is a quadrupedal beast with a robust, gorilla-like build and a dark forest-green, brown, and crimson color palette. Its massive, muscular frame is covered in shaggy fur, interspersed with wooden, bark-like skin. Their deer-like skull mask is crowned with large, branching antlers and adorned with red, vibrant patterns. Sporting a set of sharp teeth, their mask features several horns on its lower jaw. Behind their mask, they hide their true, flat gorilla-like face. Their forelimbs are long and powerful, ending in five clawed fingers. The shorter hind legs are equally strong, supporting its heavy frame, with two toes on each foot.

**Males**: Males possess longer and large chest fur, which extends from their chin to their lower abdomen.

• Goskogur are primarily found in forested biomes, and live in small troops, usually consisting of 2-4 individuals. The troop is lead by the strongest male.
• Despite their intimidating appearance, Goskogur are not aggressive as long as they are left alone.
• Their diet consists of fruit, berries, leaves, grasses, and scavenged meat.
• Goskogurs are highly intelligent and capable of using tools, and problem solving to find food.
• They also understand the benefit of working with other creatures and will try to befriend certain small species such as Ani for their healing benefits, and Idrabark for their use as lookouts, and ability to communicate. Goskogurs will offer these creatures food, and protection from the troop to encourage them to stick around.
• When threatened, a Goskogur will try to intimidate away its opponent before attacking, by pounding the ground with its fists and showing off its two sets of jaws.
• When attacked by a predator, the Goskogur will enter an adrenaline-fueled rage and fight back furiously. It will not stop until the predator is dead or leaves line of sight.

• The Goskogur's "skull" mask is not easily removed but sheds periodically like the rest of the wood on its body. The wooden covering regrows in around a week.
• The "eyes" on the Goskogur's antlers are fake and used for intimidation.
• Goskogur are genetic relatives and antecessors to the Idrabark, possessing many similar qualities such as 5 fingered, clawed hands, 3 digits on the foot, highly developed forelimbs, a distinctive wood covering, branch like horns, a beak-like nose, plant growth on the body, high intelligence, and an omnivorous diet. They also possess the same season and biome-based coloration as this species.
