====Harrukh====

The Shialar, descendants of long-fallen Vashial, have dwelled at the blighted borders of the Wastes for centuries. While mutated monsters and threats from outside nations have always been a problem for them, these resilient people have managed to tame some of the bizarre creatures that have appeared, such as the harrukh. 

Harrukhs are lumbering omnivores with an unusual symbiotic relationship with a plant known simply as a 'harrukh-tree', often seen growing from the creature's back. As the harrukh walks, it dribbles forth a stream of the plant's hard, nutty seeds, helping propagate the plant. Shialar often use the seeds for food as well as the beasts themselves for mounts and beasts of burden. When one of the creatures dies, its body is used for meat, its hide for armour and tent fabric, and the wood from the harrukh-tree for tools and tent frames. 

It would not be incorrect to call the harrukh the lifeline of the modern Shialar.
