What is a PlushBud?
(story by arekkusu)
A Plush Bud is a fluffy, loving, wolf-like creature!
These fuzzy friends are mainly found in icy places, such as Verkhoyansk, Russia, but can live anywhere where the climate is slightly higher, near, or below freezing.
These animals seem to be closely related to wolves, which can be seen from their movements, what they hunt, and their dna.
They live in caves or other burrows large enough for them to survive and eventually take care of kits in.
The special thing about these creatures is that they have what seems to be a mane of fur around their necks, which protects them from attacks and the cold. They are also unique for their resemblance to a stuffed wolf.
This quality got them their name, and they were named by two explorers who believed there was a large stuffed animal laying in the snow but were shocked when it got up and ran off.
These animals are predators, and they prey on small burrowing rodents, such as but not limited to, Squirrels, beavers, dormice, and certain types of rats.
If you encounter a Plush Bud, don't be afraid, as these animals adore affection.
Despite living in the wild, they adore being pet and loved, due to not leaving their mothers until they are old enough to have a kit of their own.
The fur of these animals is warm and thick, which was an adaptation to the cold and shocking climate.
From a young age, these creatures are protected and fed by their mothers.
Their mother will keep them inside their cave until they are old enough to protect themselves from the cold, then she'll let them hunt. Even then, the mother will stay close behind while their young are hunting, to make sure they are completely safe.
The father of the young will leave when they learn how to hunt, as he feels he is not needed because his young already understand how to hunt, and have enough strength to protect themselves.
Sometimes, the kits of a Plush Bud can come out with mutations. This is dependant on the genes of the mother, but sometimes, it can become rarer than anything known to man.
Legendary Plush Buds walk the Earth, their presence enlightening those around them.
