Description
In keeping with what I did to the Lyung [link] I've revamped another of my fantasy creatures: the Tgelet (original here: [link] ). Not sure if this will be the final design, and I will certainly try different color schemes.

Close relatives of Lyungs, Tgelet live underground most of the time. In their adolescense, they are not very strong, but highly agile and fast. By the time they reach sexual maturity, they accumulate massive rolls of fat, an evolutionary carryover from their pre-technological days, when they required blubber to keep them warm in the sunless depths (the Tgelet pictured here is the developmental equivalent of a 35 year old human). At this point, they can no longer hunt or labor very easily, so these duties fall to the younger generation. In this way, social status follows age very closely, with the highest officials being the oldest, and the young posessing almost no civil rights.
