Description Common Name: Boneback
Scientific Name: undecided

Description:
This herbivorous species is one of the most common land animals on planet , travelling in large herds of several hundred across the planet between the poles. A little larger than earth wildebeest and just as durable, they are a regular prey animal but still refuse to go down without a fight.

The frontal section of their body is quite armoured with a ridged bony shell protecting most of the vital organs. A large leathery sac underneath them can be filled with water to keep them hydrated over long journeys between food and water sources. The extendable drinking tendril on the arm under their body assists them in hydration, and the 2 small flexible limbs beside their mouth help them to pull high branches into reaching distance.
