Biology

Since Zweilous's two heads do not get along at all, they tend to compete and fight with each other about food, which is why they eat a lot and are covered in scars without even battling. The one who eats more is the leader. Once they eat all the food in their territory, they move to a new area.

The two heads have different likes and dislikes, and if each head is not given the same amount of attention, they will fight each other out of jealousy; because they fight each other, they get stronger without even fighting.

Design & origin

Zweilous's name is derived from zwei, "two" in German.
