Shusk Kitty

Another denizen of Tsaritartion, the lockjaw world. It's a Shusk - an enormous, pony-sized feline-like critter with large eyes, an x-shaped nose, extended ears, a double set of canines and six-pawed front claws. It's body is short, thick and compact, with a large muscled neck and legs that are a tad longer then would look proportional and it also sports a short mane and long wispy tail. Typically they are a rust-colored species, inhabiting the many forests of Tsaritartion.<br />
Reference to the species can be found in the story Wintering, in one of the later chapters:<br />
