New blog! This one's pretty short, but please diamond if you think that there should be neutral Ravagers that spawn in savannah biomes!
One of the strangest and most powerful creatures in the overworld is Exitiotherium Grisius, commonly called, the Ravager. Ravagers are part of an ancient lineage of ungulates (hoofed mammals), that date back to the Miocene epoch, and were once found far and wide throughout the overworld, but are now down to a single species that is only proven to exist in pillager captivity. Though they look somewhat like elephants or rhinoceroses, their closest living wild relatives are in the family of Bovidae, Making them more closely related to cows and sheep. Their natural habitat is savannah biomes, and they lack hair to more easily shed heat off of their large bodies. Unlike many of their relatives, Ravagers possess a small trunk which served a purpose once in their evolutionary history, but is now somewhat useless.
Modern Ravagers, like dogs, have been selectively bred to the point where their natural disposition has been reversed. While dogs have become tamer, Ravagers became wilder and more ferocious. Pillagers and Ravagers likely came into contact about 2000 years ago, when wild Ravagers were making their last stand in their native southern savannahs, where they had lived for over 25 million years. Originally, Ravagers served only as pack animals to carry supplies from one outpost to the next, but after 200 years, the pillagers had begun to breed them to become more hostile than their ancestors, who would only attack if provoked. Despite their fearsome appearance, Ravagers are obligate herbivores that only kill what they have been trained to kill, usually the enemies and victims of their pillager masters. Accounts have claimed that there are still some wild Ravager populations that continue to graze on their ancient savannah home, but the reliability of these claims is questionable.
