Byzarkin

== Profile ==
Here’s a new Open Species of mine, the Byzarkin!
They’re basically omnivorous costally-oriented little critters approximately the size of a boar, imported widely inland as mounts thanks to the fact they’re easily tamable via the “free food” found in most humanoid garbage pits, with some populations even considered almost-domesticated
== Abilities ==
Their extremely hard shells are immensely valuable once they’ve died of old age, though in life they are nigh impenetrable; especially when coupled with their ability to sustain relatively fast land speeds
They do have some wicked defenses though, with sharp claws and beaks, and their most infamous defende, the pronged electrically-pulsating end of their tail.
== Characterization ==
== Additional Info. ==
Their skin tends towards bright; hot colors matching the colors of electricity they produce from their tail prongs and their shell and beaks tend towards shiny; cool colors. Their eyestalks; tails and beaks have quite a wide variance in length amongst populations, and there are many different subspecies from the northern Wooly Byzarkin to the vicious apex-predator Island Byzarkin.
Curiously, their biology has been found to be wildly different from other land-dwelling vertebrates, with some even theorizing they’re the last remnants of a land-dwelling phylum closely related to cephalopoda.
== Author Commentary ==
And yes, they were inspired by something. See if you can guess what…
