The Beasts-of-Burden resemble a hybrid of a large bear and a giant sloth, except that they have a green coat. They run preferably on all fours, the front legs are on the outside of their inwardly curved claws and supported with raised shoulders, with which they are on average 2.50 meters high. (In a completely upright posture they would probably reach a standing height of at least 3.50 meters, although it is not known whether this species is capable of this). They are vegetarian and seem to particularly like nuts.
