Kalraku are medium-sized, herbivorous monsters that roam around in herds of up to 25 individuals. They are found in the Central Region in its colorful meadows and on the edges of its forests, grazing upon a myriad of plants. Their signature horn is too fragile to consistently use as a weapon, its main purpose is for display. Kalraku of any sex are more likely to choose a mate with a larger horn. What they do use for defense is their powerful tail, the horns at the end are not only light, but are very sturdy. The armor plating on their tail also protects it from any predator that attempts to disable their primary form of offense. If there are calves present, the oldest Kalraku will form a circle around them, their tails facing whatever predator is attempting to pick one off. In breeding season, the quills that are found on the neck, shoulders, and tail of a mature Kalraku will change colors, turning yellow in females and a deep, almost metallic blue in males.

This was the second creature I ever came up with for this project, I knew I wanted the next one to be an herbivore, though my decision in making it a biped happened later. Its anatomy was inspired by equines, Pachycephalosaurs, and girdled lizards.
