Biography[]
The Tapire-Laura are huge, carnivorous pig/cat-like creatures who live near the Amazon River. They are a surviving species of mesonychids, a prehistoric group of carnivorous ungulates. They have been seen with red fur with white stripes, and as green fur with yellow stripes.
Although Tapire-lauara mainly hunt in packs, they will not hesitate to fight their own kind (along with anything else that it deems to be a threat or edible). They are extremely territorial.
They can grow to lengths of approximately nine feet from snout to tailbone, and attack prey mainly using their teeth and claws in a pouncing motion.
The Tapire-lauara guard the watering hole that holds the Saturdays family's piece of the Kur Stone.
They appear in the Secret Saturdays video game: Beast of the Fifth Sun, in a volcano. They also appeared in video game Hunt for the Kur Stone.
