The Muan Sand-Hog was a species of Carpincho-Like animals that typically lived near oases within the eastern deserts of Mua west of the eastern dividing mountains where meltwater rivers fed into the lush green forests at the range basins. These rodents were herded and cultivated for their meat and fine fur, a single Sand-Hog being able to feed a family of five for three days twice a day. Sand-Hogs could also go weeks without water due to their minimal physical activity and often migrated across hostile sands while subsisting off of the fatty deposit on the tops of their their pelvis. Outside of the farming cultures of the migrant Kelekossi, some wealthier families kept the fine-furred animals not as cattle but as pets, these rodents filling the same social niche as dogs or even pigs within a familial unit for some time. There are not at least seventeen widely recognized varieties of specially bred Sand-Hog in domestication ranging from large, shorthaired hogs to small longhaired hogs. Sang-Hod milk is also collected and turned into an expensive fermented drink enjoyed by kings and landlords for centuries.
