#Trogtober 3rd - big and tall Trundlers break their wristbones with every step despite their massive pads of connective tissue. Of course, the healing factor of troglodoids makes this mostly harmless.

#Trogtober 4th - salty abomination Waldurs have traditionally been seen as a sign of a healthy ecosystem. Only large quantities of prey items can sustain their demanding bodies.

#Trogtober 5 - Backyard breeding The moment the general public could get their hands on the semi-feral troglodoids lurking around civilization the species were doomed. So far mutated they are almost unrecognizable, these beasts live miserable lives for the sake of “fashion”.

#Trogtober 6 - Picking up the pieces Nobody could have known, and nobody would. From an old world monkey to government coverup, troglodoid DNA analysis was one of the most major controversies of the 21st century.

Brubafa are born less altricial than humans and gain motor skills such as walking within a few days after birth. For this reason, they can be quite a handful for parents and caregivers!

🦷 A naked mole-rat can move each of its large incisor teeth separately—like a pair of chopsticks. Most of the time, they use their teeth to dig underground tunnels (their hairy mouths prevent them from swallowing dirt). But, they can also use them to fight + injure opponents.
