Its head is characterized by a pronounced snout and tusks reminiscent of the warthog, while its body retains the powerful limbs and agile form of a cougar. The Cougarhog's eyes are sharp and alert, enabling it to spot prey from great distances, and its ears are tufted, enhancing its acute sense of hearing.
