-All chukarandos – members of the ghastly-things-with-fur-that-lay-eggs [[Kmuppens' Taxonomy|family]] – have certain traits in common: thick, brown, curly fur with black stripes and a white underbelly. They can grow as large as a [[unanit]] in length when standing on all three legs. They have elongated snouts and jaws that can open nearly ten [[nanit]]s wide. Inside their powerful jaws they have sharp serrated teeth in front for shredding and flat teeth in back for grinding. Their saliva is quite acidic and can leave a nasty burn. ''Indeed, having a Mute chukarando chewing on your ankle is rather worse than getting divorced and finding out that your future ex-wife had genital warts after all, but only just barely.'' Mute chukarandos do not have the distinctively loud [[:Image:Mute Chukarandos Growl-squawk.wav|growl-squawk]] of the Common chukarando however, this having been bred out of the species –- hence the label "mute".

-Chukarandos' primary food source is the [[fefferberry]].  In fact, the decimation of the [[Evesque Valley]] wild [[fefferberry]] bush is due largely to the introduction of chukarandos to the Valley roughly around -100 [[EC]] (presumably by the [[Carsokians]]), an event further related to the extinction of the [[Budgerigar Master|budgerigar birds]] in the wild.

 For the chukarando, the task of digesting a [[fefferberry]] bush (not just the berries, but the entire bush) requires a remarkable intestinal fortitude.  It is aided in accomplishing that task by the phenomenon of [[Awal shrinkage]].  The powerful jaws of the chukarando mash the bush and the berries into an emulsion that, combined with the acidic nature of chukarando saliva, creates a waxy solution.

 In the chukarandos’ first stomach, the mixture is heated and combined with the digestive [[spelgof]]. The [http://www.wildandbad.com/files/chuckarandos.WAV growl-squawk] of the chukarando makes the mixture obithly contract and eases its passage to the second stomach where the nutrients are absorbed.  A further growl and squawk allows the chukarando to pass the depleted material.  During this process the chukarando glows faintly orange.
-Mute chukarandos, on the other hand, digest much more slowly, and without the sounds of other chukarandos around them it retards their voracious appetite.  It also means they require a special diet of prepared fefferberry mash.  It was the Smallwood family who discovered the breeding required to render the Common chukarando mute.  Mute chukarandos cannot survive in the wild as they are unable to digest unprocessed food.

 Mute chukarandos are completely reliant on domestication.  They lack the adaptations to survive in the wild.  They are raised primarily in the [[Evesque Valley]].  [[Baron Claude Lloyd Albert Smallwood]] is the foremost expert on the breeding and raising of Mute chukarandos alive today.
 Common chukarandos live primarily in the [[Andelphracian River Valley]], although smaller bands of Common chukarandos live throughout the [[Evesque Valley]] where they are considered a nuisance animal.  Tuckarandos live in the [[Sarfelogian Mountains|Sarfelogian Mountain]] valleys.

Chukarando flesh has a light flavor that is slightly fruity and is usually prepared with [[fefferberry]] chutney or a light [[Adlorst Vinifera|Adlorst]] sauce. The fur of Mute chukarandos is used in the lining of gloves, shoes and cold-weather gear for its superior thermal qualities. Chukarando teeth are used in the crafting of [[Freege Horn]] keys.
