Ardor Warden

The Ardor Warden is an ursine creature that has a large build with thick forearms, a small head with bear-like features, and a long tail with drooping patches of fur that are divided by two bands. Its posture resembles that of a binturong, which is also known as a bearcat. It has a pair of long, deer-like antlers that drop to its shoulders with a glowing petal-like circular object attached to each end of the horns. It has a large flower-like structure on its back and armor plates situated in several places along its body, one of which floats above the head. Each armor plate has a repeated symbol resembling a crescent moon or a lopsided heart turned up with a dot above it. The Ardor Warden has eight toes on each of its front paws and seven on it's back paws. The Ardor Warden, also known as "Zohutek", is a quiet, solitary Warden. These beasts reside in the hearts of swamps and are dazzled and adorned with beautiful wisteria fur clusters, protective lichen, and bioluminescent lights. This Warden has a strong bond with the Verdant Warden. This warden is a caring individual, nurturing the progression of life on each World. Zohutek sets paths for individuals to follow, leading them to others of their kind. In such a harsh world, partnership is difficult, and raising the next generation is even more of a challenge. Zohutek keeps a close eye on the possible extinction of any species.
