Biter

Biters are a bear-like alien found on Planet 4690C. They can be taken as Cubs and placed in an Alien Containment to make them docile. Adults can be trapped and tamed as guard animals for farms.

Appearance
The Biter is a large bear-like creature that had a raccoon-like appearance and tail. Along the back of its head and neck runs a red stripe.

Biters have two known, confirmed relatives on Planet 4690C, the Crusher and the Smasher, also called the Piquancy Biter, and two theoretical relatives, the Stalker and the Prowler.

Behavior
Even though Biters look like bears they share more of their behavior as dogs. They are extremely loyal to their alpha and typically live in packs. Should an adult be taken using a bear net they will treat the player as their new alpha and protect them.

If a player takes a cub any nearby adults will pursue the player for a short time. After the player gets away nearby Biters will let out a sad moaning for their lost young.

If Players approach a wild Biter they will make a growling noise and warn the player to back away, should they continue forward the Biter will attempt to bite the player, however they will not pursue.
