Description

On the continent of Zaleri (planet Exxus-5) you will find a lot of thorny vegetation, making it hard and very unpleasant to explore. These Bulorn have adapted to it with their manes, which are about as broad as their bodies and quite firm. They pretty much function as a first barrier to protect the body and are usually filled with thorny branches and (decomposing) leaves. Their skin is tough and feels like thick leather, which, aside from their rugged manes, also protects against the hostile vegetation. Using their horns, they snap the branches that hold their favorite leaves and, while chewing them down, slowly lumber ahead to the next bushel.
Unlike some of the planets' carnivores, these Bulorns are quite friendly and timid. If it wasn't for their size of up to 10 foot tall, they might have been great pets.

The Bellastrians though, being a very tall race themselves, have tried domesticating them. But they found their planets' lower gravity to have the effect on the Bulorns to grow to uncomfortable sizes. Aside from that, they were also deemed unfit for any daily use purposes, because even though they are capable of pulling and carying very heavy loads, there's really nothing that they can do better OR cheaper for that matter, than machines. The imprting of Bulorns only lastet a few years because of it AND because they really didn't fair well without their beloved Conaola bush leaves, which are not only hard to grow anywhere other than on Exxus-5, but also have fairly little use. All in all, it became quite the expensive experiment, with a less than poor result, but somehow, the Bellastrians have become known for their experiments... And them failing or even back firing on them.
