Artwork
The Tarrawatt is a solitary creature until it reaches adolescence and is subsequently accepted into a tribe. Its physical appearance gradually changes to mimic the features of its pack. At this time it also becomes a biped. Tarrawatt’s dormant electric powers are eventually jumpstarted by ambient electricity emitted by its companions.
