Bogglet

The smell of sulfur grew strong in the air, and at the mixture of fecal-like aroma, Tarana groaned in disgust, pinching her nostrils together. There was only one animal that made that smell...a bogglet. A few more steps brought her in front of a mother bogglet and her boggies, which suckled from her. The little swines, fortunately, didn't possess the grayish liquid-filled boils on their backs that their mother had. If they did, Tarana was sure she would have passed out from the lack of oxygen she was holding.

Basic Information

Anatomy

A typical bogglet has a large head with a long snout that is strengthened by a special prenasal bone and by a disk of cartilage at the tip. The snout is used to dig into the soil to find food. There are four equine like hooves on each foot. Their hair is usually dark brown or dark gray.
Adult bogglets giving a total of 44 teeth. The rear teeth are adapted for crushing. In the male, the canine teeth form two tusks on each side., which grow continuously and are sharpened by constantly being ground against the rocks they pick to eat.

Growth Rate & Stages

At birth, baby bogglets or boggies aren't born with their awfully smelly boils.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Bogglets feed continuously for many hours and then sleep for many hours. Their diet consists of bugs, frogs and lizards. They also strangely feed on a certain type of sulfuric rock which may be responsible for their boils.
