Asian ruffle (SciiFii)

The Asian ruffle (Rupesaltor asiaticus) is a species of sheep-sized, long-legged pika that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the cold hilly and mountainous regions of Asia to help boost biodiversity. The Asian ruffle exhibits many of the features to allow it to thrive in the cold mountains (including the Himalayas). It has a rounded head and body, and disc-like ears (adaptions that guard it against cold). It has long hair under the neck and body to protect its legs from the cold and its teeth are well adapted for grazing mosses and lichens. The upper incisors are set at an angle and are used for scraping the patchy vegetation from the surfaces of rocks and boulders. The conservation status of the Asian ruffle is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the Asian ruffle's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
