The Nexu is an agile feline predator with four eyes, sharp quills, and infrared vision, and were fearsome forest-dwellers from Cholganna. These apex predators are dangerous and have been known to grow to be four and a half meters long, including their tail.
Bico is wild by nature, but has had its behavior modified to accept the presence of humanoids by an intervention. It is trained against its wild instincts to accept humanoids. As creature handling goes up, a member can better empathize, train, and manage this creature's behavior. Untrained (+0), this creature will do whatever it wants and one would be helpless to understand why, with its natural disposition taking over. As creature handling skills improve, a member can understand, care for, and better influence this creature with full control achieved with mastery (+5) of creature handling.
Bico thrives on the hunt, but prefers to use stealth and careful preparation to pick and choose their battles. They see no need to rush headlong after a prey or target, but can often miss out on success if they miss their timing.
Bico is smaller than the average Nexu in terms of size or body mass. Their compact build can offer better mobility and agility but often at the expense of the power commonly associated with other Nexu.
Bico has typical coloring and physical appearance for a Nexu.
