K'hars

The K'hars roams the southern sea Shek Piarm with a fearsome reputation. The grow up to 50 hands and hunt solitary. After a live birth of as many as 7 whelps, mothers raise their young for a season or as long as a cycle. A sailor of the south fears to encounter such a pack. Existing on a diet of small Belar schools and deep living Siblirs they K'hars usually only attack humans when provoked.

The life cycle of the K'hars is divided into three stages. Whelps of the species grow quickly, dangerous to a swimmer at just a few weeks old. Eating off the kills of their mother, they become vicious in competition with their siblings to feed. The second stage of the life cycle is Peycombrah. This is the stage of growth and searching for a mate. The name comes from early goblin mythology. Peycombrah was a young god, who came to them in battle in the form of the young K'hars. If they defeated him in battle, they would eat and celebrate his name. After mating, they enter the third stage, known as the growing. K'hars mate only once, after which they loose their sex organs and begin to grown in size until death. K'hars of this phase are rarely hunted, due to both the experience of the animal and the unlikey outcome. Lifespans of 100 cycles are not unknown.

K'hars have been hunted in Vygos since before recorded history. Goblins in fire hollowed Bloodwood canoes have survived along the meager coasts this way for thousands of years. The island of Biardor, literally “bastard" in the Goblin tongue, has devolved an industry of such practices in modern times. Shear Morg is a thriving port city on the north of the land mass, is the largest example.  A hodge podge of cultures and races, the oil of the K'hars is at the center of living.
