Zebunk
A hybrid of Zebra + Skunk
The Zebunk is a unique hybrid creature with the striking black and white stripes of a zebra and the aromatic defense mechanisms of a skunk. Its body is robust and muscular, standing about 4 feet tall at the shoulder, with elongated legs perfectly adapted for both sprinting and evading predators in the wild. The Zebunk possesses a long, bushy tail that aids in balance, adorned with stripes that help disrupt its silhouette in the grasslands.
