General behavior: Domesticated Khovaa are really peaceful and curious, often will come closer to sentient beings in search of food or affection, they enjoy being patted and petted.

History: Khovaa are one of the native species of Khazund. Since the earliest years of their civilization, Khazund have domesticated those creatures, breeding them most often as source of food, beasts of burden, mounts or weapons. Quite a useful animal, when the ecological cataclysm of Khazund began to draw closer and Khazund evacuated, they took specimen of Khovaa with them, saving them from their demise on the planet.
Khovaa did not actually died out on Mechanus, as the planet became later known, pockets of wild roaming Khovaa herds have remained in the deep caves, still containing drinkable water, oxygen, and forests of Jezhen fungi the animals use as their main foodsource.
