    Name: Desert Gulper ---- Dentium monstrum




    Description: An adult Desert Gulper can be the size of a mini-van and weigh as much as two tons. Their body is like an oval, and oval covered in thick, tan fur. These animals are blind, and depend on their keen senses of smell, taste, and hearing. They have two big legs and no arms, the legs ending with large hooves. They have purple, black-striped spines on their back that are used to intimidate predators. Their most notable feature, however, is their mouth. Their mouth is large and circular, having rows of teeth inside and outside. Their tongue is covered in a thick, sticky saliva.

    Behavior: The Desert Gulper spends most of its time out of its burrow and hunting for a meal, however, they will spend more time in their burrow if their is a desert storm or they are protecting their young. Surprisingly, even though there doesn't seem to be a reason, Desert Gulpers will not make the first strike on humans and other races, the only case of such not happening is when one creature thought a sleeping Floran was a plant ripe for eating.




    Tamability: These creatures can be tamed, but a lot of effort will need to be put into doing so. Since all of these creatures have only known to be in a desert, taking them out of their natural habitat and putting them somewhere else is very stressful and they will probably have random lashing outs for the first couple months. They also like to be together, so they will be depressed and will not eat if they are not with others.




     




    Where is it found?: They can be found in deserts, as said before and the name implies.




     




    Rarity: Desert Gulper group burrows are rare, but if one is found, multiple Gulpers will be found.




     




    Diet/Method of gaining nutrients and energy: They are omnivores, having a row of molars in their gigantic mouths. They tend to eat more meat, however.




     




    Products?: Their saliva is a great adhesive.




     




    Reproduction: They reproduce as any mammal would. Its way of finding a mate, however, is an odd one. A male will make a mating call, which sounds rasp, and if a female comes, the male will proceed to find a big rock, a boulder if one thinks it can take it. After the male has found a rock, he will headbutt it and kick at it until it falls apart. Depending on how big the rock is and if the male broke it or not, the female will decide if the male will have enough strength to be a protecting father.




     




    Size: A Gulper pup is usually the size of a toddler, while an adult can be as big as mini-van. Males are usually larger than females.




     




    Weight: A pup will be about 300 pounds while an adult can be about 2 tons.




     




    Lifespan: The longest recorded lifespan of a Desert Gulper has been 200 years, and most live to be about 160 years old. 




    Abilities:




    -Thick fur helps to keep warm in burrows and nights




    -Spines intimidate predators




    -Rows of teeth allows Gulpers to lose some




     




    Flaws: 




    -Gulpers are blind, so smarter organisms can take advantage, or small bugs and such-Since they don't like to attack humans and other races, they can be taken by surprise
