| vain | self absorbed | lazy | prissy | sarcastic | intelligent | crafty | clever | creative | cunning At first blush Tharduke appears to be the sort of creature that one loves to hate. With a sarcastic quip always at the ready but an intense distaste for actual work, he tends to stubbornly balk at every task asked of him and vehemently refrain from 'getting his paws dirty.' That said he has a quick and intelligent mind, easily coming up with ingenious plots to accomplish various tasks in the easiest (or certainly most unique) manner possible....well, so long as HE doesn't have to be part of the actual work. Born into a pack that marvelled immediately at his handsome coat, Thar was babyed and told repeatedly how special and unique he was as a pup. This coddling had a strong psychological impact on him which led to the vain, prissy, self-absorbed tokota we know and love (to hate?) today. The male legitimately believes he is Aippaq's gift to humanity and tokotas alike, adamantly insisting through this very loose justification that to put him to work would anger the gods themselves. Tharduke is very happy to sit on the ground and bark instructions at his fellow tokotas, but ask him to lift a single claw himself and you'll receive snide, ridiculous, vain comments about how that's an insult to the gods...or worse, an insult to HIM.
