The origins of korkcitura are quite simpleâthey were once next in line to be apex predators, second only to the kraydil. When kraidyl rose from the muck empowered with profane energies, they started to wipe out these creatures but quickly found them to be utterly indigestible; rather than kill all of the korkcitura, they subjugated and ultimately domesticated the strange magical animals. Now korkcitura are reduced to scavengers that follow kraidyl around, feeding off the scant bits of meat left behind after a successful hunt or if particularly lucky, made into a mount.
Korkcitura stand at about 5 to 6 feet in height and weigh between 1,400 and 1,600 pounds.
