Physical Description

The monocerii are quadrupedal large armadillo-like creatures. Having four to eight legs. They also have strong plated armor from their nose to their tail, leaving their stomach exposed. As for colors, they come in dusty browns and sandy greys. Some monocerii have been bred to have a more vibrant hue of those colors but those are quite rare. All monocerii are born with either one or two horns. Those horns are never on the sides of their heads. Only on their forehead, nose and cheeks.

Personality

The monocerii are rather superstitious but friendly folk. Sometimes though, they can be pushy about their newest group. They are very impressionable and always open to new ideas which unfortunately includes fanatic conspiracies. Though most monocerii stick to the theory about Nevra. This has gone to a point where some select groups actively hunt down Nevra. These groups aren't only consisted of monocerii though. These groups have led to minor incidents with groups being too aggressive about getting information on Nevra's whereabouts. Some extremes of this extreme have lead to alleged terrorism which has ruined the monoceriis reputation. For this reason they aren't often seen in populated places or parts of space with strict security.

Back on their home planet they were never really threatened by anything after the said Nevra visited their planet. The predators that threatens them now are the large birds that snatch up infants. The solution to that is to blend in with the rocks, pray to not be spotted, and hope to be too heavy to be picked up and carried away.

There are a few body parts the monocerii has that they do not need. Those being, the sensitive ears they have to hear insects through the sandy terrain, and the horns on their head. The horns they have used to be much bigger, but due to the lack of a threat they lost use. Each horn comes in shape differing in either one or two horns. Due to their sensitivity to sound they are usually not found in big bustling cities. The planet that the monocerii are from is very dry and arid, with hardly any plant life. So, the monocerii have developed a strange fascination with plants or any plant based species.

History

There isn't much interesting history for the monocerii, mostly because they never bothered to write it down. Only one event has stayed consistent. They say that before the monocerii were brought into the space age, they were visited by a holy being and that changed them forever. The deities name is said to Nevra, but no one has proof that any of this happened.

Home Planet

The monocerii's home planet is a very barren and dry dessert like planet. Because of the absolute wasteland of a home planet it is, the monocerii have developed a great appreciation for fauna and flora.

Subspecies

Trivia

• Despite what is believed, the monocerii cannot roll up into a ball for defense. Instead if they need to cover their belly drop to the ground, only allowing for their tough outer shell to be exposed.
