Description
“The lumberbeest is the largest living muck on Serina, one of the last terrestrial representatives of this clade, and the only living member of a family all its own - others like it were formerly abundant in the early Pangeacene, but diversity has been in a steady decline since, largely due to the evolution of new, more adaptable competitors. Now found only in the densest, most inaccessible regions of the tropics, the last giant is a veritably enormous beast standing upwards of twenty-five feet tall and weighing two tons. It is a creature of marshy woodlands and swamps, where the densest jungles are criss-crossed by large silty rivers and broken occasionally by open flood plains. As it moves, it walks with a side to side waddle like a giant goose on large splayed toes that spread its weight out on muddy earth, its body carried at a forty-five degree angle and its tiny head resting at the end of a long curved neck that makes up half of its total height. Though it may feed far from water by night, it often spends the day retiring in the rivers or muddy swamps, freeing its squat little legs of supporting its hefty body and submerging until only its head peaks out from the water in the reeds along the banks. The lumberbeest will travel the wide rivers preferentially to and from feeding sites, swimming with strong kicks of its webbed feet and strokes of its large clawed forearms, always floating just under the water with only the hump of its back and its head and neck protruding. Its diet is broad, almost anything green will do, and it can afford to eat leisurely from a single tree at a time thanks to its armored skin and nictitating membranes that slide over its eyes to guard against even the fiercest ant bites. It lifts its neck high into the canopy, reaching leaves inaccessible to other ground creatures, and feeds unperturbed even while hundreds of ants swarm down the branches in defense of their homes and crawl across the hide of its face, stabbing their little jaws and stingers against the thick scales futiley and to no effect. They find few orifices to climb into - the lumberbeest can simply seal its ears and nostrils as it feeds. The horny keratin of its short, tortoise-like beak provides no surface to bite, and even the tongue is armored in a thickly protective covering of this keratin. Countless ants stream into the giant's mouth as it swallows and are carried right down the lumberbeest's gullet with the vegetation, to no harm to the animal, which simply digests them as well. Very little bothers the lumberbeest, for no predator exists that can harm it as an adult. They are mostly solitary but do not oppose company, and multiples may gather and feed together from a single tree or bed down in the same pool during the day.”
