The Tauntaun is a large furred lizard adapted for harsh and cold environments, Tauntauns were native to Hoth, but found use elsewhere in the galaxy after being domesticated. Two meters tall and white, tauntauns had large clawed legs that made them surefooted in even the iciest terrain, and two smaller, almost vestigial arms. The layer of blubber that allowed the tauntaun to tolerate the cold temperatures had an unpleasant smell to most sentients, although that pales in comparison to the scent a freshly killed tauntaun gives off.
Bluebell was bred in a tame condition, and is comfortable around humanoids. It depends on humanoids for survival and looks to them for support. As creature handling goes up, a member can better understand and train and control this creature, but it will always look to Jenni for guidance and support. When a character is proficient (+3) at handling creatures, they can do all they need with a domesticated creature.
Bluebell has typical coloring and physical appearance for a Tauntaun.
Bluebell has a natural, instinctive drive to take the lead when around other creatures, especially when among fellow Tauntaun’s. They are usually the first to take point and will often look to assert their dominance by means of aggressive actions or by vocalizing with their respective method of communication (howling, hissing, roaring, etc.).
Bluebell is larger than the average Tauntaun in terms of size and body mass. Their bulkier build can offer better power but often at the expense of the mobility and agility commonly associated with other Tauntaun.
