Bicamelus
A hybrid of Bison + Camel
The Bicamelus is a large, robust hybrid creature with the massive, muscular build of a bison and the long, slender legs and distinctive hump of a camel. Its fur is a thick, shaggy coat that varies in color from sandy beige to deep brown, allowing it to blend seamlessly into its arid habitat. The Bicamelus possesses a unique adaptation: a set of broad, flat hooves that provide stability on rocky terrain and enable it to traverse both grasslands and deserts. Its long neck allows it to reach high vegetation, while its large, expressive eyes are adapted to see well in bright sunlight.
