The tuskets, a distinctive species, are characterized by the curving tusks protruding from their snouts, present in both males and females. These tusks, while seldom used in combat, play a crucial role in mate selection. Tuskets are believed to choose their mates based not only on the size of the tusks but also on their curvature and subtle color variations. Given that tuskets bond for life, selecting the right mate is essential for the herd's ongoing success. Bonded pairs often exhibit affection by gently clicking their tusks together, a tender behavior observed among these creatures.
The prominent role of tusks in the mating process has led to a widespread but unfortunate rumor that tusket tusks can enhance virility in other species. This myth has caused some to seek out the tusks for their supposed benefits. Despite their generally docile nature, tuskets will fiercely defend themselves if they feel threatened or if someone attempts to harm them, especially in an attempt to remove their tusks. Such attempts have had dire consequences, as illustrated by the tale of Baron Vandermine, who reportedly lost three servants to the tuskets' defensive actions.
