THE MOAR

The Moar is a formidable predator native to the Atrana Mountains in the Asari Region of the Eastern Equatorial Section of the Habitual Belt on VOI 700 D.

As an apex predator, the Moar dominates the mountain valleys, preying on herbivores like the Manla and Hoos. Despite its massive size, it is an agile and intelligent hunter, using both stealth and brute strength to overwhelm its prey. Moars are typically solitary but exhibit maternal hunting behavior when raising offspring.

• Lifespan: 30–40 years.
