Paramite

Paramites are creatures featured in the Oddworld series.

Characteristics
Paramites are indigenous creatures on the continent of Mudos. Although Paramites may look quite strong and fearsome, they are mainly a pack animal. A lone Paramite will try to flee if anything approaches it and will only attack if cornered or more Paramites join in.

Because of their short legs and build, Paramites can move quickly through small spaces, allowing them to catch Mudokons who are on the run. However Paramites can be distracted from their prey with a hunk of meat, allowing the prey to quickly escape.

Even though Paramites are fierce and strong predators, it is also a endangered species because of the local food factory is creating snacks out of the native creatures, creating "Paramite Pies" and "Scrab Cakes".
