"My hooves are burning baby, they are burning! Look at this, I gotta tiptoe, I gotta tiptoe, eat my dust, Dingo!"

―Gazelle to Diego after escaping him.^[src]

This unnamed gazelle was pursued by a saber-tooth cat named Diego.

Biography

Grazing in a field one day, this gazelle was ambushed by a saber-toothed cat named Diego, the saber chasing after the gazelle in hot pursuit through the field, but after a short while, Diego, who had grown tired after such a chase, began to slow down and the gazelle outran him. Upon seeing the fallen saber, the gazelle returned to mock Diego, prancing about and boasting of his escape as he kicked dust in Diego's face before running off.

Soon after, the gazelle ran past Diego, who had long since given up on the chase, calling at the saber to run as a massive Tyrannosaurus grew closer. The gazelle escaped in time, as did Diego.

Traits

A boastful animal, the gazelle was easily surprised but prideful when he managed to outrun danger. Sporting the same traits of other gazelles of his time, from two pronged horns and a slight build to cloven hooves and a horned snout, the gazelle easily escaped prey on long, thin running legs.
