E. Diploifalea is a creature.

E. Diploifalea is a creature in the No Man's Sky universe.

This massive example of the Rangifae genus moves in huge herds along the tropical forests and coastlines of Zal'Danel.

As of May 28 2020, this creature is the largest known example of a hump-back diplo in the Galactic Hub Project, and the Rational gender ties with U. Rattussaxii, an arched-backed diplo, for largest overall Rangifae in the Galactic Hub.

May 28 2020: Listed in rank #8 (and fifth largest) on the Fauna Hall of Fame largest Rangifae list.

E. Diploifalea is tan colored with green spots along the anterior neck at the base of the skull and extending from approximately one-third of the distance from the base of the neck along the back of the lower neck. The front shoulders and the lateral surface of both sets of legs are similarly covered. The superior mid-thorax is covered with bony protrusions, or "horns". These extend bilaterally down either side of the spine to just above the hips. The tail is short relative to the size of the creature. The head is flat topped with three small horns; two positioned bilaterally slightly behind the eyes and one at the mid point of the medial snout. The eyes are positioned low and slightly behind the corners of the mouth. The nostrils of the creature are positioned above the eyes and are ringed with a striking purple band extending completely around the snout. The eyes are a dark purple with a circular pupil.

Gender Monomorphism [ edit | edit source ]

The Rational is the taller at 8.2m and does not have horns on the head but rather spikes along the back. The Exotic is 8.1m and has very noticeable horns on the head as well as fin-like spines along the back. (Determined by GHEC Researcher Phaedrus29 after an expedition to check whether both genders were truly identical, as was initially thought.)

All Original: E. Diploifalea

Discovery Menu [ edit | edit source ]

Found on planet Delorian, E. Diploifalea has adapted to the temperate climate and humid atmosphere. Cautious by nature. Even when facing starvation, they do all they can to avoid straying into unknown territory. Leaf eaters, their teeth are too soft to eat most vegetable matter. As such, they consume only soft, fresh leaves.

Additional Observations: Waxy all over

It can be found on the planet Zal'Danel in the HUB6-107 Delorian star system.
