☣︎ Savuti - Spotted Hyena - Male - Prokaryote ☣︎

---

Savuti is a young male spotted hyena, whom you can usually find around Canis, although he may wander off into the tunnels when he can pick up the courage to do so. Savuti looks diseased, although he is not. His stone errupts like a rash between his shoulder blades, his fur is patchy and his eyes are a reddish-brown hue. He also tends to never bathe and rolls in things that smell gross. Because of that, sensible animals tend to avoid him or at least look apprehensive about meeting him.

To make it worse, Savuti has a connection to vectors that he can't control it yet, but he can call them to him in concentrations, which can make other animals sick with various bacterial diseases.

Really though he just want people to like him and belong! Right now, he's a little tiny baby hyena. Who can be mean to such a stinky cutie? He has no concept of social boundaries or expectations, and he's very curious and eager to see new things, but he is a little shy and on the cautious side.

Savuti is not very confrontational for a hyena, so he won't be making many enemies beyond people who just think he's disgusting and/or dangerous from a vector standpoint.

I'm sure when Savuti is older, he wouldn't mind a special friend, but also, the likelihood of it happening is pretty low, unless he can find someone who can't smell or is okay with his gross hygiene. He would also be afraid to infect them with anything.

Plot Hooks
☣︎ Let him accidentally get you sick so he'll feel bad and scared about it.
☣︎ Run him out of town or be afraid/mean of him.
☣︎ Be his friend!
☣︎ He needs to go on an adventure (preferably close to home!). Either let him come along willingly, or we could just force him together with you for necessity!

Okay I have many characters I can dish up to help get Savuti off the ground! Wilder here would be happy to do all but the second one. She's a silly, childish, but kind of strange kitten that also hangs out in Canis a lot. If he ever wanders into Eridanus, my other cat Rift would probably chase him out because of his fear of disease. You could also have him meet Huckleberry if he starts to feel bad because he is a Nice Baby who would probably bond with him over the feelings of being an outcast.

I imagine Savuti will see a lot of Wilder, since Giggle is going to adopt him. So he'll feel extra bad if he made you sick. :c

He'll probably end up wandering because he's curious. So when be meets Rift, he'll know to stay out of Eridanus. xD Or at least, be stealthier next time.

Savuti will be... confused by Huckleberry. Just because of their physical appearance, but because of the way they act. But yes, they can be friends! c:

@wilder @savuti

If wilder and Savuti meet, that could be the perfect opportunity for him to meet squick, too! And maybe it could host with him for a while and show him some prokaryote magic c:

@savuti

Mandrake is here!! Huzzah! Still fancy plotting with this baby?
