Despite being bipedal, Ganrak prefers run on all fours. It sports clawed hands and an almost opposable toe on its foot which is often used in combat. Ganrak is easily distinguished by its brightly colored nails and teeth, which are covered in a dangerous yet beautiful bacteria, which cause them to both glow and act as a venomous weapon. This can also be used as a projectile (spitting) but very rarely, and is only a true defense mechanism. Ganrak is extremely proficient in the use of their venomous breath, using it to burn foes with venom from great distances and bites. They are known for being most intelligent, able to build and adapt easily.One small bite/scratch can cause an injury that'll hurt for ages on end.

Ganrak can survive in almost any environment, save for environments with extreme heat. Their high metabolism means medium sized prey must be relatively abundant, thus it sticks to much more forested areas. Despite this, it moved onto a much more urban environment, housing itself in an empty dumpster in a scrapyard, and even working as a mechanic at times.●Ĕ̱̯͝c̨͚͘͠ö͓̦́͝l̢̛̺̚ö͈̟́͊g̤͚̓̿į͉̈́͝c̬͈̿̈́a̜͕̿̾ḽ̪͗̓ ̫̜͋̋N̬̩̽͠i̗̪̔͠c͕͊̏ͅḩ̤̓̿è͕̰͝●
Ganrak fears almost nothing that shares its habitat. (Before zombies came along?) It's known to eat almost anything within its territory, even if it speaks. (In which it gives its prey a few minutes to give it a reason not to eat them) They are actualy quite nomadic, so establishing an official territory never truly happened until they developed their massive scrapyard.Despite its uncanny hunting strategy of dropping on prey from trees, its known to be much more of a scavenger, not wanting to put any effort into hunting for itself.

Strong back legs, Ganrak is an adept runner. (not the fastest, but 150lbs of pure terror running at you with a high supply of stamina is enugh to make you piss your pants....) It uses its toes to grip onto tree branches and is known to travel through treetops rather than on the ground. When on the ground, however, it drops on all fours to run much faster. Its back toes are large and much more spread out, allowing it to walk on its hind legs. (If it had regular, tiny paws, it wouldn't scientifically be able to walk, it would fall over.) It isn't the fastest runner, but is quite swift, using much more sharp turns and movements rather than pure speed to chase/escape prey and enemies.They are also capable of using their large back claw to dig into their prey/enemy. Ganrak's claws and teeth contain a potent toxin that will often kill a large animal if they don't seek immediate treatment after the blow that inflicted the wound.
Their tail is very short, but mostly to keep it out of the way and only used to flight balance purposes, covered in a coarse, thick fur.
Its main defenses for a flight rather than fight, however, are spitting/breathing toxins, and a loud screeching noise. This screech can also be used to intimidate and stun prey and attackers. Its breath is extremely potent, able to dizzy organisms with a single inhale. (Very short ranged, however and can't be used very often at all.)
As for spitting, it projectiles a spray from its throat which can cause irritation of the skin and even necrosis. This has a decent range, but can't be used often at all, and is only accurate if the target is directly in front of them.
As for its jaw strength is second to none, with its short, stocky snout, able to exert pressures of over 1000 kgf/cm2. Its nose is also quite sensitive to sharp smells, and they tend to make it recoil if it's hit by a smell it doesn't like.

Ganrak is a highly sociopathic and solitary. They are quite aggressive when it comes to other creatures bothering them, thus are terrible at group projects. It has a very short temper, and tends to act snappy when not fed. (And it eats A LOT!)●ᴘᴇʀsᴏɴᴀʟɪᴛʏ●
Post-Apocalypse ● Extremely solitary thus didn't have any other social interaction unless it was a discussion with their food before they consumed it. They're known to be quite jaded, and the zombie apocalypse didn't change that one bit.Pre-Apocalypse ● Still avoids other members of the survivors, instead hiding away in their scrap yard. If they attempt to speak to them, they'll either walk away as spoken to or stare blankly.

Post-Apocalypse ● Ganrak lived alone in the forests, nomadic. It hunted anywhere it could and usually slept in pre-made dens, then moved on to another area. Usually, they would eat whatever was in the area, then once that was cleared at, find another. Eventually, it found its home in an old scrapyard, and soon enough made its official territory there. All of their life, they've lived on their own. No sob story here, they like it that way. They made their home in an emptied dumpster, sleeping in there or often found wandering their scrapyard and creating various things and laying traps down for trespassers. A few times they worked as a mechanic for some money, but found hunting was easier. They've been known for getting into trouble for stealing things from nearby villages to add to their scrap collection.Pre-Apocalypse ● Nothing much has changed at all. They still hate people, and still live in their scrapyard. However, they've found a good place. Sintact found them, and they now work on giving the camp decent plumbing with fresh water as well as other simple things such as decent working ovens and the like. THey always ask for hard-to-find things in exchange for rare objects they own.
Despite their antisocial nature, they've grown extremely fond of Rua, who they view as their younger sister. She brings Ganrak food since they're much too lazy to hunt and most of the others never want anything to do with them. She's the only one they truly have a soft spot for, besides Adalwulf who is their student. They let Adalwulf work in the scrapyard and use the scrap they don't want in exchange for payment in food.
Not many appreciate it, but they keep the main camp functioning through their inventions and tinkering, often improving their homes and defenses as best as they can as long as people bring them the materials they need.
They also have a brother, who works as the camp's blacksmith and semi-traveling merchant.
What's with the bandanna?
Hey. They don't like clothes, but they can't have one bit of fashion without you up their butt about it?
It's not some special cloth that their family had or their loved one died with or some crap like that, no. They hate their brother and they didn't know their parents, which isn't sad in ANY way seeing that none of their kind usually does. Ganrak also ate their other 3 siblings soon after they were born. Boo-hoo. That's nature.
It's actually cut from a really old blanket they used to sleep with, but got caught in a car engine and ripped up. They liked the color and thought it matched their eyes. It also works as a way to keep their mane from getting caught in things.
That's it.
Yep.
