Species description

Ashrunner are long-legged fenborn with wide splayed toes and closable nostrils adapted for loose ash. They travel in small bands, sprinting between cooler stone islands while feeding on insects and heat-tolerant scrub.

Observed behavior

Field note

Their tracks break wind crusts and expose buried seed after ashfall. Off-road racing routes can look harmless on barren flats while repeatedly cutting through the exact corridors bands use between water and shade.

Keeper handling note

Placement & contact

Ashfall displacement, vehicle-strike rehabilitation, corridor restoration, and later open-range attunement.

This dossier describes the species. Individual care, temperament, provenance, and bond history are kept in the creature’s own record.
