An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

The curving tusks protruding from the snout are present in both males and females of the species. Rarely used in combat, the upper tusks play an important part in mate selection. It's believed that tuskets choose prospective mates based not only on the size, but also on the curve and even slight color variation found in another's tusks. Considering tuskets bond for life, careful mate selection is crucial to the continued success of the herd. Bonded tuskets have been seen gently clicking their tusks together as a sign of affection. —From Observed Behaviors in the Common Tusket by Tilda Adere

The role of the tusket's signature ornamentation in the mating process led to an unfortunate rumor that their tusks could increase virility in other species. Although usually docile, tuskets will defend themselves if cornered . It's said Baron Vandermine lost three servants this way. —From Observed Behaviors in the Common Tusket by Tilda Adere

Although usually docile, tuskets will defend themselves if cornered (or if someone attempts to saw off part of their anatomy).
