Savannah Animal - Zebeeste

[Trinket]

Please note that this is just a rough idea and does not have to follow everything exactly to a T. I'm not good with balancing out lifespan, food worth and the like, but thought it was something to work with.

I'd love to see some more critters in the savannahs. Both for dinner and for danger.

I think a Zebeeste would be an interesting creature to add to the savannahs. They appear to look like a cross of a Zebra and a Wildebeeste.

The Zebeeste is a herd herbivore. They spawn in numbers 1-4. They live about 30-50 days each. They are worth 10-20 pieces of food each. They have a defense of 1, an attack of 3, and collecting of 1. They attack only in circumstances similar to the walrus deer.

The Zebeeste prefers to graze on regrowing grass.

 They are hunted by carnivorous animals seen on the Savannah.

They move each time a nichling moves. The herd moves together in generally the same direction following each other.

Its possible they might try and trample a baby nichling if they're attacked within a tile of a one gemmed nichling.

My take on the Zebeeste. I'm really proud of this!  I'm better at drawing animals from pictures than I am drawing anything else. Unfortunately I couldn't make it digital or color it in, but it's mostly black and white, anyways. It was bigger than I thought it would be so the horns and tail go off the page a bit. I might have misspelled Zebeeste when I wrote it the first time..

Do you think they could trample a 2 gemmed Nicheling?

[Renio2490]

I didn't look at any references, but this is what I'd imagine a Zebeeste would look like.

[Trinket]

I mean they can attack anyone, but 1 gemmed nichlings are pretty fragile and they can die despite their lifespan. But they only retaliate when they're attacked like the walrus deer and if a 1 gem baby is one of the creatures surrounding them to keep them in place not a good idea. But strategy wise this can be easily avoided especially if mama is still on the nest.

I like it, but might want to add wildebeest horns. Other than that it looks pretty good to me.

[Renio2490]

I don't know how to draw wildebeest horns... so I tried.

AHH I love drawing animal hybrids! I'm gonna try drawing this

Is the picture working for everyone else because I can’t see it.

[Renio2490]

It's working for me. Trust me it's beautiful and you need to see it.

Cool! I had a similar idea for a savannah prey animal but since the savannah biome tends to favour smaller and faster creatures than the mountains, I was going to make a weaker but faster creature. Would the OP be okay if I posted my idea suggestion forum? ☺️

Sounds to me like its enough of a difference to go ahead and post that too. I'd just be happy getting anything extra into the savannahs.

I was thinking of something very similar today  I love the suggestion!
