Ecology

 * Habitat Range

It is entirely exclusive to arctic regions as it cannot adapt to survive in forested, arid and humid environments due to its thick fur and mass insulation. These regions include the Arctic Ridge and the Frozen Seaway.


 * Ecological Niche

It is one of the top dogs of the arctic region with only Barioth, Zamtrios, Blangonga and Tigrex serving as competitors and potentially enemies. It is ommivorous and typically feeds on berries and herbs, although will also go after meat, specifically the likes of Popo are considered a delicacy to the fanged beast. There have been reported cases of an Aezopithecus getting along with a Blangonga and its troops...


 * Biological Adaptations

Its thick fur and mass insulation allows for it to dwell within the harsh arctic locales that it calls home, helping brave against powerful blizzards. It has a powerful physique, capable of lifting trees with one hand and swinging it around as if it was a blade.
