Legend

alternately known as the most docile and the most fearsome forest animal on the planet Yeshocq, the qormot was merely reacting to seasonal changes in its environment. During the warm months of spring and summer, they are peaceful herbivores which fought only to defend themselves from other predators. However, as the weather turned colder and mating season approached, they became territorial about their prospective mates. Competition for the best mates almost always resulted in fierce battles, and beings were warned to stay away from qormot territory during this time. Qormots resembled large, ovine beasts, with stout bodies and a series of spiked frills surrounding their heads. Each qormot had a single eye, located atop a long, bony snout.
