Shalah

A ruminant distinguished by a heavy shaggy coat and long tusks that sprout either side from its lower mandible. The tusks and the thick leather plates layered on its face constitute a tough defense. It uses its powerful muzzle to scoop and rip up great tufts of grass and its lower mandible as a spade to root out nutritious tubers. The shalah can be found feeding in the lake lands and the desert.
