A sketchy sketch of my Horo boy I wanted to colour!
To the Xaela of the Horo tribe such as Cuuja, being overweight in such a harsh environment as the Steppe is a sign of wellbeing, strength and even beauty.
As a Danshig Naadam regular, eating specifically large quantities to bulk is an important part of Cuuja's training each day followed by a harsh routine of strength training as he uses his weight against his opponents in combat, so maintaining his musculature is key. Much like one should not misjudge the hippo for its soft exterior, thick layers of muscle are hidden beneath and a wise man does not anger a Horo.
