Gargrumi

Gargrumei (GAR-groo-me, plural is GAR-groo-MY) are common herbivores on Jarat. [19'8" x 2,944.4 lbs]

Appearance
Gargrumei have long, slim bodies and equally thin necks and tails, in which their tails are ridged with bone plates. Their heads are narrow and slim, with large emerald green eyes and a pale brown-orange color as well as white spots scattered throughout their body. Their legs are long and they have no claws on their paws.

Variations
Gargrumi usually eat rustweed and banana ferns, but when fed a majority of one over the other their colors will change. Rustweed majority makes them turn reddish and banana fern majority makes them turn yellowish. There is no real significant difference between the regular gargrumi and the variants, though rustweed gargrumei will have slower speed + higher health and banana fern gargrumei will have faster speed + lower health.

Tactics
The only real dangers of fighting gargrumei is that, due to their huge size and weight, can do a lot of damage or possibly severely handicap or kill the player by stepping on them. If on Easy, the player will already know how to item reap from gargrumei, but in Hard they will have to learn by NPCs or squad members (if toggled). Their leather can be used for fur coats to keep the player warm from cold places, while their fangs can be made into "natural" daggers.

Since gargrumei are most active at night, it is best to find them during the day while sleeping in order to efficiently catch them by surprise. Avoid the use of rocket launchers that cause burn, since the leather can be burned as well and unable to be used.

Locations
Gargrumei will most likely be one of the first wild animals the player will see on Jarat. People making guides will also aim to this animal first, since it is easy to observe without scaring it off. Sometimes, wild rustweed variants can be found in the edges of a grassland meeting a desert, as well as the banana fern variant.

Predators/Diet
Gargrumei are the prime prey for venvin and aarog.
