Cactavious Lick
Cactorum lambere
Beast
Cactavious Lick (Cow Lick) roamed the Earth around 1200 B.C. ranging from the size of a small, petrified rat to a young, anxious yak. They were often found existing in jungles, rainforest, and/or even the desert, with a lifespan reaching up to 500 years. At the end of their lifespan, it is noted that their cactus would shrivel up and become brown. The petals of their flowers would fall off one by one and vanish once touching the ground. The colors of the Cactavious Lick depend on the biome they existed in: making them suitable for surviving. During the dawn of the dinosaurs, Cactavious Lick(s) were hunted twelve at a time causing the species to be drastically reduced to a rare, single species of one (singular) in each biome. While this species, specifically, is the only one known to humans, its cousins the yak or cow can still be found today. The diet of the Cactavious Lick was said to have consisted of hot, crunchy sand, fresh falling dew drops, and hyper pigmented leaves without any blemishes or spots. On my personal encounter with the Cactavious Lick, I was enthralled by its beauty. It moved slowly and grazed on desert sand without a care in the world. It would throw its head from side to side and glimpse at the world around it. It did not have a plan just sleep, graze, repeat. Since then, I dedicated my time to make a replica of the desert Cow Lick. It represents this species in juvenile form. I hope to meet the others so that I can gather more information about them as well.
