Description:
These are incredibly large creatures, towering over any mountain bear, with a very meaty body and long arms and legs for scaling the canyon. They have smaller heads, giving them the ability to dig into carcasses they scavenge and have a thin dark brown furry exterior.


Combat:
These are generally docile creatures that do not attack unless they are attacked in turn. Usually they will run away from any impending danger, but if cornered, they will use their sheer size and claws against any creatures. They can dig into the flesh of an attacker, but can also scale the canyon walls to make a hasty retreat.

Habitat/Society:
These are solitary creatures, not seen often, but when they are seen, they are always seen alone. They can climb the canyon walls easily with long claws hooking into the clay of the walls, and are scavengers by nature. They will eat the meat of discarded meals, finishing off and leaving nothing but bone. They were named after the man who discovered them, a Gentleman Fondworth Noram, who died of old age studying the gentle giants. Noram mate only one time a year and only one is born to the mother, where they are raised on fish and discarded meat.

Ecology:
Noram are large, but shy creatures, usually living like vultures off the meat and bones of discarded victims. They are slow and lumbering, and are easy targest for hunting. The smaller creatures of the Canyon do not hunt them, just for their mere size, but the hunters from the village find them an easy target. Their meat stores easily and has a beefy taste to it, while their hides provide adequate leather for trade.
