Carnivorous Dugong

The dugong is a coastal marine manatee with a dolphin -like tail. Adults are 4d3+2 feet long, and weigh 16d100+500 pounds, with a 10 -foot long dugong weighing approximately 950 pounds. Females tend to be larger than males. Dugongs have been hunted for both meat and oil. In some places, dugong meat or “tears” are used as aphrodisiacs. In real life, dugongs are peaceful creatures which subsist largely on a diet of sea grasses. The fictional carnivorous dugong has tusk -like fangs and is definitely dangerous to those who would hunt it or invade its territory. Other names: Balguja, dugung, sea camel, sea cow, and sea pig.
