Maalta Trodders

Tedepris Trodders

: 1.8 - 2.0 meters: 400 - 600 kg: 4 legs, 1 head: Split hooves, much like a camels: Although it looks soft, it is coarse and rough.: A red beige, the same color as the red sands of Maalta: A white stomach, white freckles on their face and flanksMale Trodders grow to be about 2m in height while Females tend to be about 1.6-1.8m in height. They resemble camels in face shape and skeletal structure. The main differences are colour and hump placement. Trodders have a red beige type fur. They have white stomachs, they lie down on their backs when they get too hot and reflect the suns rays while they cool down. They also have freckle like spots on their faces and flanks, but they are not sporadic, but instead aligned with one another. It is believed that they got these markings from the ancient settlers of Maalta painting their fur so many times that it became permanent. Trodders have 4 humps, two on each side of their body with flat backs which makes travelling with bags easy. They are also very strong and enduring meaning they can carry a lot for a long time. Trodders of Maalta also have three curled horns, a large one sits on it's forehead and has two smaller ones located on each of their shoulders. They use the horns on their shoulders to dig into the ground for water, the people of Maalta have trained the Trodders to dig. Trodders are dressed differently depending on what profession each of their owners. For example, Jewelers often have rich purple and gold colors with gemstones here and there. Their fur is a coarse, spiky texture due to the constant sandstorms they have to endure: 1.5-1.8 meters: 200 - 400 kg: 4 legs, 1 head: Split hooves much like the camels: As soft as it looks: A deep brown with cyan tips on each piece of fur: Sapphire colored "socks"These Trodders do differ from those found in Maalta. These Trodders have longer, softer fur to help them deal with the colder temperature. Their fur is a deep brown with the tips of each strand of fur colored blue from the natural spores in the air at night. They have developed blue socks on their feet, it is believed that they were gained by standing in the shallows parts of the river for too long and absorbing it's color, the people of Acrylicarion refuse to kill them because of this as they believe the river to be holy. These Trodders do have horns, but they differ from the Maaltens Trodders' horns as they are not curled, they are instead long and slightly curved, like the unicorns, for they have no need to "drill" out water like the Trodders at Maalta, they use their horns as a sign of dominance, the bigger their horns, the more they control the rest. They do, however, are the same when it comes to humps, as they do also have 4 humps, two on each side, but as they do have more access to resources, they do not need to store as much fat and thus their humps are smaller. Speaking of smaller, the average height and wait of these Trodders are indeed shorter than those in Maalta because they have had to adapt to the short trees an thus have shrunk down shorter. These Trodders are used to transport spices, foods and potions as well as similar resources to and from Breace where they are distributed across the main kingdoms. (Vesuvula and Klinkidok)
