Voglung

Imagine, if you will, if a 250 kg boulder suddenly came to life. A Voglung fits this description well. This enormous quadruped resembles a tortoise in shape. Its back, front paws, tail and even scalp all resemble the color & texture of the earth they call home. Meanwhile the underbelly and rest of the animal's skin is only a bit softer (like dry and rugged skin.) and is yellow in color. A Voglung's head is round in shape with their eyes bulging outward on both sides. Its nasal cavity is flat and in the middle of its face. The mouth is wide and its chin becomes squared near the bottom. The top of the head is covered in the stone-like layer offering incredible defense. The head is connected to the neck which can measure up to 2 metres. The Voglung's body is simply a boulder with 4 limbs, a neck and a tail attached to it. The feet are short yet broad. Even the outside of each foot is covered in the stone-like layer down to the toes which are rounded and just as hard. They have 4 toes on each foot. Finally, the tail is a surprisingly flexible member tipped with a heavy plate of the stone skin that may as well be a hammer.

Voglung are oviparous animals and can lay up to 3 eggs in a single cycle. Apparently, it is rare for more than one Voglung to survive past infancy. When a female Voglung is ready to lay her eggs, they will create a nest by trampling the earth with their tail until sizable ditch has been made. Next, they will use their front legs to stomp down on the ground to smooth out the hole. Next, the eggs are placed within this ditch and covered with dirt until they hatch. Voglung eggs are known to be incredibly sturdy much like, you guessed it, a rock.

It is still unclear how and what a Voglung's growth rate really is. They tend to stick together and rarely make long trips preferring to stay in one spot until their food is depleted.

Voglung are only found in the mountains of the Waugmala Region. They inhabit Mount Sol Somnum but a few sightings of Voglung have been made on the Sol Mountain range.

Voglung are one of the few Terranian species that consume minerals as their primary source of food. It may be because of this that they don't have any teeth. Instead, they they crush the earth using their feet, tail or sometimes even their head and then grab the chunks and swallow them whole.

Found exclusively in the Waugmala Region.

Voglung have been observed to use vibrations felt through the earth to identify other organisms. It is believed that their sense of sight and smell may be sub-part to other animals.
