This is Day One
This creature is a(n): Acinonyx Coleoptera Pardus
This is its story: The Acinonyx Coleoptera Pardus, also called Chebetard, is a strange dweller that can be found wondering the plains near Seaford. Originally it was said to be closer to Towanpool, but as the city grew into a large and industrial port, it was scared away to live in wilder places. Many have asked how such a creature came to be, but the explanation is rather a simple matter of genes and an accident. Sure, there are many strange critters that dwell in Duval, but this one is one of those that many people just feel odd watching.
Anyway, as Towanpool was growing larger, more populated, and more modernized each day, the nasty and cruel reality of pollution and over population sank in. For in the early days of Towanpool, the city was small, the port the only part growing. So as more and more ships docked, more people were brought in. They would crowd the inns, the taverns, guest houses, and the streets. Many of the crew were hostile and didn't give a hoot about the locals or the wildlife. Remember, this was in the early days when there were still many pirates and older fashioned steam and oil technology. Towanpool finally expanded into the wilds of the forest around them using oil to burn down the trees for quick clear cutting. Then Pirate Captain Mortideur (pronounced Moody-deer) was a notorious soul that took over Towanpool during his stay when he arrived. The port town was beginning to clean up its act and help reserve the nature that was left around them, but the Pirate Captain didn't give much care to this. He had discovered ways to increase ship speed through a strange lavender slime he called, "Skooma". Not only was Skooma used for the ship, but the crew could also drink it and get a "buzz" from the toxins inside. It became a popular merchandise by all the undesirables. Then it happened.
One day, a pirate man that hobbled about on wooden legs was drinking a flask of Skooma (he claimed it helped the aches and pains in his "legs" go away) near a small pond in a part of the forest. He was deep in the forest to prevent the Captain from finding out he took some from his stash, but things didn't go as the wooden legged man has hoped. A drop or two of the purple slime fell into the pond, right on an area where oil had been spilled. There was then this great lavender explosion that could be heard all the way to Seaford. The Skooma was ignited when the flammable ingredients were mixed with oil and water and a smoking wooden legged man. Then main effect wasn't as devastating as the end results. The wooden legged man was nowhere to be found and the explosion caused a small earthquake to destroy parts of the ports. The pirates fled, and those that remained were ran out. Captain Mortideur wasn't heard from again.
Then the locals started noticing a strange creature roaming around the town. It had six long branch like legs, lavender eyes, black skin and fur, sharp canines, and was often seen rolling off dung from the city and into the forest. The Scientists in the town became very curious, but they didn't want to disturb such a creature for fear of killing it. Then more began to be sited and they finally snatched one up to examine the insides. They discovered that the legs were very insect like, but somehow wooden and alive, the teeth resembling those of a leopard, it had muscles that indicated the speed of a cheetah, and the fur was the color of charred trees. It was a mixture of so many animals! The genes were strong and therefore many began to pop up around the city.
Observing the behavior of it they noted that it rolled and transported dung much like a Dung beetle, had the speed and agility of a Cheetah, had the teeth to tear into meat and bark of a leopard, the odd wooden legs that strangely resembled the Wooden Legged Pirate Man's legs, and black fur the color of the burnt forest. After many tests and observations, they finally concluded that it was a freak accident caused during the purple explosion! A Cheetah, Leopard, and beetle must have been around the wooden legged man as he was carelessly getting a "buzz" from the Skooma and ignited it with the oil and water of the pond. The creatures were morphed together, but still carried the basic need to mate and the genes being so powerful caused more critters like it to pop up. The scientific name of Acinonyx Coleoptera Pardus was given, but locals simply called it Chebetard. The Chebetard eats a variety of meat and bark from trees. It has been known to munch on dog food from time to time as well.. Raiding the garbage cans, but eventually the creatures migrated to more wild parts of the island where they flourish and strive on the many sources around them.
