The littoralope is a 11 foot long (3.35 meter) herbivorous animal that dwells on the planet Darwin IV. The littoralope is preyed upon by skewers. They live in herds and are agile runners. They are cousins of the groveback.
Physiology[]
One of the littoralope's main trait are the deceptive tail that's shaped like its head, this is used to further confuse predator as it keeps the attacker(s) guessing which direction the littoralope will escape to. Littoralopes are also one of the few creatures on Darwin IV to have visible armor exoskeleton as/on the outer skin, similar to that of earth's armadillos.
