Lazard Doodle

Description

basically around 8 years ago i made a species called lazards, i made a bunch of adopts and then they were never heard from again but i always really wanted to update them!! 
so i ended up doing some scattered doodling over the years but never really felt super in tune with them until this recent doodle! which I'm pretty happy with. 

Basically lazards are a companion and transport creature, they are very large and can easily cary half their weight in stuff on their backs. long distance travelers (probably from my headword rarrah) like them over any other transport creature because they are able to communicate with other lazard riding travelers via tail swishes in a sort of morse code. Lazards use their long striped tails to communicate with each other, so properly training them to swish their tails in the air on command makes it easier for travelers to identify friend or foe from a long ways off. 

lazards are omnivorous and will eat almost anything. their jaws are incredibly powerful and can crush bone, but they aren't the best hunters die to their strange foot configuration (i will have more detailed sketches but basically the two center tows are long straight claws that almost resemble overgrown hooves while the bordering two toes are like that of a dogs). they would rather eat carrion or dig up roots than hunt down another creature.
though they can technically be trained to help the owner hunt down most things, because of their size and swiftness they tend to frighten most smaller or equally sized creatures.

pups are easy to tame and train but wild adults are rather skittish and flighty. I wouldn't say they are a domestic species yet but some are working on that by selectively breeding Lazards to be more friendly and stronger. 

tamed Lazards are incredibly loyal companions that will defend their owners and their owner's land or possessions to the death.
