Cavernoceros

The Cavernoceros are a race of herbivorous animals that inhabit Mynaris. They are hunted by the Kalkosa, and they are domesticated and raised by the Korvis.

History
The Cavernoceros was one of the creatures powerful and resilient enough to survive the threat of the newly-evolved Kalkosa. The Cavernoceros was eventually domesticated by the Korvis after their rise to sapience, for use as mounts and creatures of labor.

Lifestyle
The Cavernoceros gather in herds led by the individual with the largest protruding mineral deposits on its frill. Domesticated Cavernoceroses make excellent mounts and creatures of labor.

Subspecies
On Cavernus, there is a subspecies of Cavernoceros. They are much smaller, and do not hold as many Minerals on their bodies. This is because they live in the dark, damp caverns, and do not need minerals to protect them from the sun. They are faster then the Mynaris Cavernoceros. They are hunted by the Dalvose, and since the Akira had no use for mounts, this subspecies is not domesticated. They have horns made completely of Minerals, and for defense, a tail with Mineral spikes.
