The Massiff is a hunter found on many desert planets. They are a squat animal, with a row of spines along their back, standing at roughly a meter tall.
Bugs was bred in a tame condition, and is comfortable around humanoids. It depends on humanoids for survival and looks to them for support. As creature handling goes up, a member can better understand and train and control this creature, but it will always look to Morgan Desatado for guidance and support. When a character is proficient (+3) at handling creatures, they can do all they need with a domesticated creature.
Bugs has an inherently inquisitive nature. This can propel them to be more bold and inclined to investigating or discover something new, but can also lead them into trouble when they refuse to notice signs of danger at the expense of satisfying their curiosity.
Massiff are ordinarily rough-looking creatures, but Bugs makes most of his brethren look like wet-nosed pups. More than a decade spent in various fighting pits across the galaxy has left the hound heavily scarred and gnarled. Several of his spines are broken off, and his left eye is clouded from an old wound. In order to add a small splash of color to Bugs' appearance Morgan normally ties a bright-blue bandanna around his neck, just for the style-points.
Since being freed from his chains, Bugs has been packing on the pounds slightly. There are still slabs of tough muscle and gristle under the layer of fat, of course, but the Massiff is starting to look... a little round around the edges. He is still relatively young for his species, and fits right within the average for his size, so the fat doesn't really hurt... right?
