Characteristics / Behaviour
the tuskin is one of the more successful creatures within Deadwood, this is due to its unique anatomy and its various defence mechanisms primarily being the thermal vents lined across its back, which allows it to blast searing hot steam into the jaws or onto the skin of its opponent, it obtains these temperatures by consuming the seeds of a native plant, the inferno lily

Cultural significance
It is said to be a practice of good luck by the native peoples to sleep near a tuskin family at night, although this is probably not the case, they do supply a comforting amount of warmth for sleeping travellers during the swamp's frigid nights.
