Prototype: Skalder
The Skalder is a large grey quadruped herbivore with two tusks and a thick grey hide. While seeming to be lethargic, Tuskers were noted for being rather quick, being able to keep up with speeders, despite their appearances.
Skalder is wild by nature, but has had its behavior modified to accept the presence of humanoids by an intervention. It is trained against its wild instincts to accept humanoids. As creature handling goes up, a member can better empathize, train, and manage this creature's behavior. Untrained (+0), this creature will do whatever it wants and one would be helpless to understand why, with its natural disposition taking over. As creature handling skills improve, a member can understand, care for, and better influence this creature with full control achieved with mastery (+5) of creature handling.
