Mustira

 are small Fanged Beasts introduced in ???.

Physiology
are characterized by their slender and streamlined appearance. Their bodies are covered in dense, thick fur, which is brown on the back and head, while being lighter on the belly and tail tip.

In almost ironic contrast to Bobunura, which possess enlarged canines on their upper jaw, 's canines on the lower jaw protrude, being visible even when the monster's mouth is closed. Their front claws are extremely large compared to their body size, while their hands are covered by large keratinous structures, enabling them to almost drill through the earth at surprising speed.

Behavior
live in a strictly organized hierarchic system, which is built much like a bee society or a naked mole-rat colony. The highest-ranking female, Kvinna Mustira, functions like a queen, while high-ranking males - characterized by their larger size - are the queen's guards and also mates. The rest of the individuals scout the area for food or prey.

Abilities
are generally tougher than most other small Fanged Beasts, being adept fighters and also possessing glands in their throats and under their claws that produce a potent toxin.

Taxonomy
are predatory Fanged Beasts native to the Biruinta Islands, these creatures are toughened up from living in several harsh environments.
 * Order: Pelagusia
 * Suborder: Hard Claw (Durunykia)
 * Superfamily: Weasel Beast (Mustelatroxae)
 * Family: Stira (Musteliraxidae)
 * Species: Bobunura (Mustelirax terrestria)

Habitat Range
are generally observed in the Cealdon Woods, the extreme Pyroclastic Fields, and the more tempered Hotspring Marshes.

Ecological Niche
are carnivorous in nature, their favorite prey being insectoid creatures that they find underground while scouting through their extensive cave systems. Given their small size, and even though they are quite skilled in combat, are prone to be preyed upon by larger predators.

Biological Adaptations
are quite agile and strong, their large front claws not only serving as digging tools but also as surprisingly durable weapons. Glands in throat and fingers secrete a highly poisonous substance, which serves as an additional weapon alongside claws and teeth.

Behavior
live in strictly organized, eusocial hierarchy systems. They are led by a single female, the Kvinna Mustira, which is protected by up to three larger males that additionally are the queen's mates. The other males and low-ranking females dig tunnels, search for food on the surface.

Should they sense a disturbance on the surface, they will quite literally erupt, usually in packs of three, to face the threat. Should this fail, they will call for reinforcements.
