#Umalo Umalo The Clans Belias and Kutlaan have been at war for decades. A trade dispute gone bad, turned into a territory dispute when Clan Belias discovered the other's rich natural resources in the form of a Thermite deposit in the Aluathan mountains. When small skirmishes of scouting parties turned to full scale war, both sides began to use the fauna of their harsh cold environment. Most impressive of which were the crested behemoths known as the Umalo. Being the largest breed of crested wuyg, they were fearsome in full frontal charges, their heavy bone crests tearing through the snowstorms and their large bone horns tearing through fleshier substances. It is said that the long, mournful moan of an Umalo will bring fear into the hearts of the brave and pee into the pants the less brave. To identify their own beasts in the often blinding snowstorms, Clans Belias and Kutlaan painted their beasts with designs. Belias' can often be idenified for using large cresting and swirling patterns in deep blue colours. Kutlaan's can often be identified for gold and orange phallic symbols along their beasts' sides and crests. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw3VOTJlvox/?igshid=t660eo1yqfgg
