{{Creo}}

Truegato is a formidable [[Electric]]-type [[Creo|creo]] whose presence is usually noticed only after it has gone by.

With humans, Truegato is elusive and dangerous. It does not hunt people on purpose, but anyone caught inside its hunting grounds risks being hit by the shockwave of its passing alone.

Some travelers report hearing a thunderclap with no storm anywhere, followed by the smell of ozone.

== Biology ==
Built like a big cat, Truegato has a powerful body made for explosive acceleration. Its coat is a startling mix of orange, black, white, and electric blue, and its pink-tipped tail carries a zigzag kink.

The fur along its flanks and shoulders is coarse and reactive, meant to rub against rock, metal-rich soil, and even certain plants to build up an immense static charge.

By releasing that stored electricity, Truegato can accelerate to the speed of sound, Mach 1, in bursts lasting only seconds. It rations those sonic dashes carefully because the strain is immense, but one burst is usually enough to end a chase on the spot.

Truegato lives in wide, open country where nothing blocks its speed: high plateaus, savannas, salt flats, and badlands. Those regions give it both room to run and plenty of material for charging its fur. It stays on the ground but favors high terrain that lets it launch devastating pursuit runs. Truegato is a carnivore and hunts fast creo such as [[Deor]], [[Rusarth]], and [[Cervantes]] that would outrun most predators, and its speed and tenacity make it terrifyingly effective. It also has to keep its path clear of obstacles, since hitting a rock or a tree at top speed could kill it.

Truegato is solitary and highly territorial. Meetings with its own kind are rare and usually violent, made up of blinding feints and thunderous shockwaves rather than long fights. Other creo instinctively avoid ground that is scorched and air that smells ionized, both signs that a Truegato came through recently.
