Binturong, or Bearcat, the Rutherer in Reality
« on: December 03, 2014, 11:10:25 pm »

Rutherers are large carnivores with grey fur, blue skin, and an enormous tail, found in 2nd and 3rd caverns.

Binturongs, are small civet-like mammals native to southeastern asia, also known as bearcat. Although different in size, they have resemblance to rutherer.

Those are the things that poop out the expensive coffee, right?

Time to mod Rutherers so they can be harvested for brewable beans. :p

They're both Viverrids though, I don't know how closely related they are evolutionarily.

I pictured them as having quadrupedal dog-like bodies, nubby ears, and small, cat-like muzzles.

Rutherers I picture as... well, giant, very furry, elephant-sized mammals with large tails. Actually yes, somewhat binturong-shaped but far bigger.
