Jackalope

Native to Durango, jackalopes resemble a cross between a jackrabbit and a deer. They tend to congregate in old ruins, building them up into cities and fortresses against the harsh terrain on their homeworld. Stubborn, blunt, and independent, jackalopes typically have very loosely organized societies and tend towards criminal behavior in more civilized places. Jackalopes can live up to 500 years, though few live past their first century. They are considered to be adults at 12, middle aged at 90, old at 250, and venerable at 400. Jackalopes average 3'8" in height and 50 lb in weight.

Jackalopes in Society

Jackalopes typically live in large family units of 40 or more individuals. As they grow, they learn to assert themselves aggressively, lest they be lost in the sea of voices they live in. However, they are generally well-established within their family, and all rely on one another, forming tight-knit, loyal groups who have each others' backs in any situation. 

Jackalopes on the whole tend to be loud, direct, demanding, and readily spurred to physical action. Yet for all this, they have a sanguine outlook on life - while a jackalope may strike you down for the most minor insult, he will just as readily offer you a hand to get back up and a drink to laugh about the experience over.

While jackalopes will readily travel about, they like to have a permanent home shielded from the open sky - a holdover from the genetic material used to create them. Jackalope cities are often underground, or in the remains of massive, ancient structures where they can more easily make a home. They often refer to "living six feet under", a common building code specifying that there must be at least six feet between the ceiling and roof in residential construction.
