=== Appearance ===
Farlen are large bovine creatures with two or more sets of curved horns. They grow a thick coat of fur for winter, and shed it for a lighter hollow fur coat for the summer months.
Alpha farlen grow thick bone plating on their backs in order to better protect themselves.
=== Behaviour ===
Herd animals, farlen graze in groups of up to 50. Although herbivorous by nature, farlen are known to be aggressive, and will attack unknown creatures who wander too close.
One in three farlen males grows hard plates on his back upon reaching adulthood and becomes an alpha. Alpha farlen are the protectors of the herd, and will work to keep their weaker kin safe. Bigger and tougher than regular farlen, alphas are targeted by hunters as prime game.
=== Origin ===
Although native to Endis Zephyr, farlens have thrived on Endis Prime, as well as other planets in the Endis System. Their rugged biology allows them to survive in even the frosty cold winter and scorching summer of the kaiten home planet.
