The Poot (Mendaxicorn nebulatelma) is a species of false unicorn indigenous to the Foggy Swamps in the land of Bush Whacker.
Etymology[]
The specific name, "nebulatelma" means "fog swamp", and is in reference to their ecosystem, the Foggy Swamp.
Physiology[]
Poots resemble unicorns, a group of horned equines. However, this is simply due to parallel evolution presumbaly to fill a similar niche. Instead, Poots are anchitheres as evidenced by their three, non-hoofed toes on each foot indicating that it is more closely related to Mesohippus. They are herbivores with large and protruding, rounded teeth. Their horn and scelra are pearlescent in appearance and their small ears bend backwards.
Poots are covered in short, white hair to give them a fine coat, with a number of spots showing at their temples. Their hind quarters end in a short upturned tail.
