Walrox

The Walrox is a cunning and surprisingly agile creature, demonstrating a unique blend of its ancestral traits. On land, it moves with a powerful, low-slung gait, using its webbed paws to navigate icy shorelines with surprising speed. It's a solitary hunter, relying on its keen fox-like senses of smell and hearing to locate prey both above and below the ice. In the water, it transforms into a graceful and formidable swimmer, using its robust flippers and rudder-like tail to propel itself through frigid waters.

Primarily aquatic, the Walrox spends much of its life foraging in shallow coastal waters. Its tusks, though shorter than a true walrus, are primarily used for digging up mollusks and crustaceans from the seabed, but also serve to break through thin ice to access breathing holes or ambush fish. Despite its size, it possesses the innate wariness of a fox, making it incredibly difficult to spot or capture. They establish temporary dens in snowdrifts or small ice caves, typically for birthing and raising their single pup.
