No one knows for sure. What is certain is the process of hunting Ogrine is so complicated and uses so much energy that this creature is obliged to eat monster souls to develop. It was raised on the beaches of Otomai's Island and will only eat the souls of the creatures that live there.
This strange pet is the result of cross-breeding Amakna's greatest truffle hunters. Its enormous snout allows it to locate Ogrine, even if it is hidden underwater. It took Otomai several years to create this beast. It is said he used it to find something he thought he'd lost, something that had escaped from him. In doing so, he corrected one of his many mistakes.
