Home Planet: Alpha Pi And 932 II
(x: -81750898, y: 20253571)
Native to the desert planet Alpha Pi And 932 II, these creatures are gentle herbivores, grazing along the edges of the oases that dot the desert landscape. Like the camels of the now destroyed planet Earth, they store water and fat so that they can survive through the dry season when sustenance is scarce, in this case storing it in the garlic-shaped bulbs that grow from their backs.
The large horns are used both for defense and as a method for gathering food. When vegetation on the ground is scarce, the creatures will charge and ram the tall, palm-like trees of their planet to knock them over, gaining themselves access to the tasty foliage and nuts that grow at their tops.
Home Planet: Same
The male of the species, the Bulbarex at first appears very different from its female counterpart, but is actually similar in many ways. Although the neck and tail are elongated, the skeletons are still for the most part structurally identical. The head is somewhat smaller and the horns have disappeared, having been replaced by an armor-like shell that protects the cranium from damage as the creature charges, but despite this the head and skull are also structurally similar to the female.
The most noteworthy difference is that, unlike the Bulballo, this creature is in no way a passive being. Tasked with protecting the herd, the Bulbarex targets and attacks any potential threat on sight, using its small but keen eyes to spot them from afar. Also unlike the Bulballo, the Bulbarex is a carnivore, as can be determined by the sharp teeth it bares when it charges its victims.
Worth noting, like the Bulballo the Bulbarex stores excess nutrition in the bulb on its back, meaning it only needs to feed once every week or so to survive. This, along with its powerful herd instinct, prevents it from turning on the females for food.
