|Introduction=The '''Thramak''' is a subterranean beast of burden domesticated by the [[Minthari]] of [[Terasil]]. Bred for endurance and sensory acuity in the underground tunnel networks of the [[Minthal ~~Range~~]], the Thramak plays a vital role in Minthari transport, mining, and agriculture.

|Origin and Nature=The Thramak evolved from donkeys brought by ~~trueborn~~ humans into the depths of [[Minthal]] during the great migration. Like the humans themselves, the donkeys were quickly influenced by the strong presence of [[Desame]] imbuing in them a strong drive but eventually depriving them of their site ability to exist above ground.

Like the humans themselves, the donkeys were quickly influenced by the strong presence of [[Desame]] imbuing in them a strong drive but eventually depriving them of their site ability to exist above ground.

|Biology and Physical Traits=Thramaks are compact, quadrupedal mammals roughly 4.5 feet at the shoulder and 6 feet in body length. Their thick, rubbery hide ranges in tone from dark basalt to umber, providing protection from rough tunnel walls and geothermal heat. They are entirely blind; their eyes have atrophied into calloused ridges. Instead, they navigate via a combination of whiskers and hooves that can sense subtle vibrations.

* Standing sleep, often braced against stone walls.

* Infrasonic bellows of contentment.

* Rumbling or stamping when agitated or alerting others to danger.~~[[File:Thramak_-_Drawing_02.jpg|thumb|A Thramak pulling a wagon]]~~

* Rumbling or stamping when agitated or alerting others to danger.

|Cultural Significance=To the Minthari, Thramaks are more than beasts of burden—they are loyal companions and living symbols of subterranean resilience. Harming a Thramak unnecessarily is a serious taboo, and tales abound of Thramaks rescuing lost miners or returning with critical supplies after collapse

|Uses=* Pulling ore carts and water sledges.

Line 22:

* Powering small-scale lifting mechanisms in vertical shafts.
